§ 83.202, Fla. Stat. · Part I. NONRESIDENTIAL TENANCIES
Waiver of right to proceed with eviction claim.
Verbatim from the official edition
Text — 2026 Florida Statutes
The landlord’s acceptance of the full amount of rent past due, with knowledge of the tenant’s breach of the lease by nonpayment, shall be considered a waiver of the landlord’s right to proceed with an eviction claim for nonpayment of that rent. Acceptance of the rent includes conduct by the landlord concerning any tender of the rent by the tenant which is inconsistent with reasonably prompt return of the payment to the tenant.
