Opinion
No. 83-1716.
July 27, 1984.
Appeal from the Circuit Court, Sarasota County, Gilbert S. Smith, J.
Michael J. Keane of Parker, Parker, Bitting, Keane Hayes, and John T. Allen, Jr., St. Petersburg, for appellant.
Michael P. Haymans and Darol H.M. Carr of Farr, Farr, Haymans, Moseley, Emerich Sifrit, Punta Gorda, for appellee.
We have before us for review a final judgment entered by the Circuit Court for Sarasota County evicting the appellant from a mobile home park located in Charlotte County. We reverse because the Circuit Court of Sarasota County lacked subject matter jurisdiction to order the eviction of a residential tenant from premises located in another county. Such jurisdiction lies exclusively in the county court of the county where the premises are located. §§ 34.011(2), 83.59 and 83.7594(4), Fla. Stat. (1983).
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
HOBSON, A.C.J., and BOARDMAN and DANAHY, JJ., concur.
