What Will Happen to the COVID-19 Foreclosure Moratorium in 2021?

It is important for Florida homeowners to understand their rights during the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 has taken a physical, emotional, and financial toll on almost all Florida families, but it doesn’t have to affect your legal rights, as well.

So what will happen in 2021? There are several possibilities:
