FLN Properties, LLC v. First Stop Food Mart, Inc.
A commercial landlord sought mandamus to compel a county court to enter a default judgment for possession under section 83.232(5), Florida Statutes, after the tenant failed to deposit June rent into the court registry by the ordered date (June 1 fell on a Sunday; the tenant paid June 2). The Second DCA granted the petition, holding the statute's waiver is mandatory and leaves the trial court no discretion, and that Rule 2.514(a)'s weekend/holiday extension does not apply to a fixed calendar date.
