District Court of Appeal of Florida November 21, 2018, No. 4D18-3152 (Bluewater, Inc. v. Ctr. St. Lending Fund IV Spe, LLC)

The statute allows sequestration of rents 'notwithstanding any asserted defenses or counterclaims of the mortgagor.' Id. (emphasis supplied). "In ruling on a motion to sequester rents, a court should refrain from conclusively ruling on affirmative defenses.
