Legal filings are covered by the landlord and are significantly more expensive (numbers I am seeing for florida are hovering around $5000, but like all things legal it varies wildly). This was disgusting, but the state isn’t paying out orders of magnitude more than the loss just to protect some random landlord.
“Hundreds of thousands of dollars” dude, absurd exaggeration doesn’t help anyone. an eviction requires a single non-emergency callout, which in flordia costs around $2500 (evictions are usually categorized as property crime)
