Samara Johnson Appellant, v. Lili Qiu, Appellee. (2025)

Affirmed. See § 83.60(2), Fla. Stat. (2025) (“In an action by the landlord for possession of a dwelling unit, if the tenant interposes any defense other than payment, including, but not limited to, the defense of a defective 3-day notice, the tenant shall pay into the registry of the court the accrued rent as alleged in the complaint or as determined by the court and the rent that accrues during the pendency of the proceeding, when due. The clerk shall notify the tenant of such requirement in the summons. Failure of the tenant to pay the rent into the registry of the court or to file a motion to determine the amount of rent to be paid into the registry within 5 days, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays, after the date of service of process constitutes an absolute waiver of the tenant's defenses other than payment, and the landlord is entitled to an immediate default judgment for removal of the tenant with a writ of possession to issue without further notice or hearing thereon.”); Minalla v. Equinamics Corp., 954 So. 2d 645, 648 (Fla. 3d DCA 2007) (“Section 83.60(2), Florida Statutes, requires payment of rent into the registry of the court in residential landlord tenant disputes under Part II of Chapter 83.” (quoting Frey v. Livecchi, 852 So. 2d 896, 897 (Fla. 4th DCA 2003)).
