Commercial landlord Palm Beach Marketplace, LLC, asks this court to compel the trial court to enter a default and writ of possession in its favor. We grant the petition because the tenant, Aleyda’s Mexican Restaurante, Inc., failed to comply with the statutory requirements of section 83.232, Florida Statutes. We recognize the tenant’s dispute about when the rental payment was due; however, the landlord pointed to the terms of the lease which provide for payment to be made on the first of the month despite any course of conduct to the contrary. See §§ 83.232(1) & (5), Fla. Stat. (2011); Park Adult Residential Fac., Inc. v. Dan Designs, Inc.,
While we grant the mandamus petition, as in Poal, we withhold the issuance of the writ, as we are assured that the trial court will act in accordance with this opinion and issue the writ of possession to the landlord. Also as this court pointed out in Pool, the landlord is entitled to a default for possession in accordance with section 83.232(5), not disbursement of the deposited funds.
Petition for writ of mandamus is granted.
