Bill Summary
An act relating to landlords and tenants; amending s. 83.60, F.S.; removing a requirement that certain money be paid into the registry of the court; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill amends Section 83.60 of the Florida Statutes, which relates to defenses to actions for rent or possession of a dwelling unit. The key provision of the bill is the removal of the requirement that tenants pay the accrued rent into the registry of the court when they interpose any defense other than payment. This change means that tenants will no longer be required to pay the disputed rent into the court in order to raise defenses to the landlord's action for possession, except for the defense of payment itself.
