Florida Foreclosure tenant protections

What rights does a tenant have after foreclosure in Florida?

Florida's Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act requires the post-foreclosure successor to give any bona fide tenant at least 90 days' notice to vacate, and generally lets a bona fide lease run to the end of its term (with a limited owner-occupancy exception). Statute text: "The successor in interest providing a notice to vacate to any bona fide tenant at least 90 days before the effective date of the notice; and (b) The rights of any bona fide tenant: 1. Under any bona fide lease entered into before the notice of foreclosure to occupy the premises until the end of the remaining term of the lease, except that a successor in interest may terminate a lease effective on the date of sale of the unit to a purchaser who will occupy the unit as a primary residence, subject" (Fla. Stat. § 83.5615).
