Florida Default or Final Judgment For Past Due Rents (Count II) is a legal remedy available to landlords in the state of Florida when tenants fail to pay their rent on time. This type of judgment is typically issued by a court after a landlord has given the tenant a notice of nonpayment and the tenant has failed to respond or remedy the situation. The judgment will award the landlord the amount of past due rent plus court costs and allow the landlord to take possession of the tenant’s property as collateral for the unpaid rent. There are two types of Florida Default or Final Judgments For Past Due Rents (Count II): Summary and Default. Summary judgment requires a court hearing where both parties can present evidence and argument, while Default judgment is issued without a hearing by a court after a landlord has proven that the tenant failed to pay the rent.
