>>JENNIFER WAUGH: THE GOVERNOR HAS NOW ISSUED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT PREVENTS ANYONE FROM
BEING EVICTED FROM THEIR HOME
IF THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY
THEIR RENT. IT LAST 45 DAYS AND
STARTED LAST THURSDAY. SO WHAT
DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU
MARRIED EVERY SAYS AN ATTORNEY
WITH JACKSONVILLE AREA LEGAL
AID WHICH PROVIDES FREE LEGAL
ADVICE TO NORTHEAST. FLORIDA
RESIDENTS JOINING US THIS
MORNING. THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US MAYOR DO APPRECIATE IT.
SO WHAT IF SOMEONE WAS ISSUED AN EVICTION NOTICE BEFORE THE GOVERNOR’S EXECUTIVE ORDER WAS
FILED ON THURSDAY IS THIS STILL
APPLY TO THEM OR IS IT
RETROACTIVE.
>> WELL MY READING OF THE GOVERNOR’S WORDS THAT SUSPENDS ALL OF THE ACTIONS FOR 9
PAYMENTS RELATING TO THE
CORONAVIRUS FOR 45 DAYS
REGARDLESS OF WHEN THAT NON
PAYMENT OCCURRED. SO FOR
EXAMPLE THE TENANT LOST THEIR
JOB LOSS OR INCOME DUE TO THE.
CORONAVIRUS THAN THEY WOULD
STILL
BE COVERED.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: GREAT HILL
AND I WONDER WHAT DOES A
LANDLORD HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO
EVICT SOMEONE LEGALLY.
>>LENA PRINGLE: US TO SEND ALL THE REQUIRED PROPER NOTICE IS GENERALLY THAT MEANS A
3 DAY NOTICE DEMANDING THAT THE
TENANT PAY RENT WITHIN
3 BUSINESS DAYS. IF THE TENANT
DOESN’T MAKE THE PAYMENT DURING
THAT TIME PERIOD THAN THE
LANDLORD CAN FILE A LAWSUIT HAS
TO BE SERVED ON THE TIME IT.
THE TENANT HAS HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND. THE
LAND WITH THAT HAS TO GET IT.
>> AN ORDER OF FROM THE JUDGE ALLOWING THE EVICTION AFFORD AND THEN THERE’S THE RAM WHAT
HAS TO REQUEST THAT THE
SHERIFF TO.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: CARRY OUT THE
EVICTION SO I THINK WHAT’S
INTERESTING HERE IS BUT BASED
ON THE KINDS OF CALLS THAT
WE’VE BEEN RECEIVING MARRY INTO
OUR NEWSROOM IS THAT THERE ARE
MANY
PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE ANYTHING
IN WRITING A
WRITTEN LEASE US THEY HAVE THAT
IN ORDER TO FALL UNDER THIS
ORDER PREVENTING THEM FROM
BEING EVICTED IF THEY CAN’T PAY
THEIR RENT.
>> NO THEY DON’T HAVE TO HAVE A WRITTEN LEASE IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. HE SAYS CAN BE ORAL IF
YOU DON’T UNLEASH YOU PROBABLY
HAVE WHAT’S CALLED A MONTH TO
MONTH LEADS TO PAY YOUR LEASE,
YOU PAY YOUR RENT FROM MONTH TO
MONTH IT THAT WOULD STILL BE
COVERED UNDER
THE ORDER.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND THAT DOES
THE LANDLORD IF THEY DO TRY TO
EVICT DOES THE LANDLORD
HAVE TO GIVE THEM SOMETHING
THEN IN WRITING NOTIFYING A
BETTER THEY CAN THEY JUST TELL
THEM OVER THE PHONE LEGALLY.
>> THE STATUTE REQUIRES THAT THEY NOTICED THE WRITTEN SO THAT THREE-DAY TO ME AND TO PAY
RENT WOULD NEED TO BE IN
A WRITTEN.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO AFTER THE
45 DAYS IS OVER PEOPLE MAY
STILL NOT BE ABLE TO PAY THEIR
RENT SO CAN THEY LEGALLY BE
EVICTED AS AS AN EXAMPLE IF
THEY CAN’T PAY THE BACKGROUND
THEN ALL IN 45 DAYS. SO
BASICALLY THE NEXT RENT THAT IS
DOING AND WHAT THEY WERE UNABLE
TO PAY.
>> YEAH THE ORDER DOESN’T ELIMINATE FRIEND DOESN’T MEAN THAT YOU DON’T OWN THE RAIN,
IT’S JUST A A POSITIVE ANY TYPE
OF ADDICTION PROCEEDING SO THAT
TENANTS CURRENT ABLE TO CATER
AND THEY SHOULD DO IT. IF
YOU’RE NOT ABLE TO PAY IT
CONTACT YOUR LANDLORD REQUEST
AN EXTENSION FOR
PAYMENT IF THE LAMB AGREES TO
AN EXTENSION FOR THE TENANTS
PROTECTION THEY SHOULD GET IT
IN WRITING.
