On August 31, 2020, Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order 20-211 extending the current limited moratorium on evictions and foreclosures in Florida until October 1, 2020. As we stated in our last e-mail update, the moratorium now only prevents a residential foreclosure from proceeding to the final action (foreclosure sale) if the foreclosure is the result of non-payment, and the non-payment is by a borrower who has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 emergency. Affected” as a loss of employment, diminished wages or business income, or other monetary loss realized during the Florida State of Emergency directly impacting the borrower’s ability to make the mortgage payments. The moratorium on evictions suspends the final action in an eviction (issuance of the Writ of Possession) if the eviction is based on the non-payment of rent.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this Order or any other matters related to COVID-19, please do not hesitate to reach out to one of the attorneys at the Sorenson Van Leuven Law Firm.

COVID-19 has brought challenges for our clients and the way we serve our clients. Sorenson Van Leuven has remained committed to hosting virtual events from Roundtable Meetings, Educational Events, and Interviews to keep our clients informed and to remain connected to the Credit Union industry we serve.

As we continue to adapt, we thought it would be fun to host a Virtual Happy Hour. Join Jim, Tyler and members of the SVL team for an informal gathering on

Thursday, September 17th at 6:00 pm Eastern (5:00 pm Central).

Grab your favorite wine, beer, cocktail, mocktail or soft drink and join us.

The meeting will be held via Zoom, and we encourage you to log in using a computer, tablet, or smartphone so that we can see each other and participate in more of a “face to face” gathering. We ask that you RSVP for this event by emailing Whitney at whitneyw@svllaw.com no later than Tuesday, September 15th, at 5:00 p.m. Upon receiving your RSVP, Whitney will send you an email with the password for entering the zoom meeting and a “coupon” for your “free drink on SVL.”

Space is limited to the first twenty people to RSVP. If interest is high, we will plan to host another Happy Hour in the coming weeks.

You will not get the password to join the meeting unless you RSVP. If you plan to attend, remember to mark your calendar and copy the link below into your calendar for future reference. We look forward to sharing a drink with you.
