Background
Mostafijur Khan appealed a nonfinal order of the Palm Beach County Court denying his motion to transfer venue. Tenant’s Rights LLC, acting as assignee to Alexandra Flynn, was the appellee.
During the appeal, Tenant’s Rights confessed error. The Fourth District considered the confession in light of its decisions in 31 Ford LLC v. Tenant’s Rights LLC and Casa Verde MHC, LLC v. Tenant’s Rights LLC.
The Court’s Holding
The Fourth District accepted Tenant’s Rights’ confession of error and reversed the order denying Khan’s motion to transfer venue.
The court remanded with directions to transfer the action from Palm Beach County to Orange County. The per curiam opinion stated that it would not become final until disposition of any timely filed motion for rehearing.
Key Takeaways
- The order denying Khan’s venue-transfer motion was reversed.
- The county court must transfer the action to Orange County on remand.
- The decision followed the Fourth District’s recent venue rulings involving Tenant’s Rights LLC.
Why It Matters
The decision reinforces the Fourth District’s treatment of venue disputes involving Tenant’s Rights LLC and confirms that this action belongs in Orange County rather than Palm Beach County.
