Syllabus

<p>1. Under Section 2237 General Statutes of Florida, 1906, Compiled Laws of 1914, the landlord's lien provided for in the Second subdivision of the section is not superior to a lien acquired by another prior to the bringing of the property upon the leased premises or prior to the commencement of the tenancy under the lease.</p> <p>2. A written lease of lots which provided that the time should begin to run from a date in the past, executed between the owner of the lots and a tenant subsequently to the bringing upon the lots of personal property which was immediately mortgaged to secure a balance due for its purchase price, will not be given a retroactive effect in order to defeat the superiority of the mortgage lien over that of the landlord.</p>
