Florida S1530 allows defendants in eviction proceedings to seal records and substitute their name with "tenant" under certain conditions.

Florida S1530 creates a new statute allowing defendants in eviction proceedings for nonpayment of rent or lot rental to file a motion to seal the records and substitute their name with "tenant" on the progress docket. This applies if the case was resolved by settlement, a default or merits judgment has been satisfied, or a certain period has passed since a merits judgment. Ineligible are those evicted more than once. The court must schedule a hearing if an objection is filed within 30 days, otherwise granting relief without a hearing if no objection is filed.
