     An Appeal from a non-final order from the Circuit Court for Miami-Dade

Before SALTER, FERNANDEZ and LOGUE, JJ.

      PER CURIAM.

      Aligned Bayshore Marina, LLC, appeals the trial court’s entry of a

temporary injunction in this dispute involving the extent of a tenant’s rights under
a long-term lease. The trial court’s order attempted to maintain the status quo

between the parties, pending further resolution of the matter. However, the order

is, in fact, a temporary injunction and does not satisfy the requirements of Florida

Rule of Civil Procedure 1.610. Therefore, we quash the order and remand for

further proceedings.

      Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.610, Injunctions, specifies that “[n]o

temporary injunction shall be entered unless a bond is given by the movant in an

amount the court deems proper, conditioned for the payment of costs and damages

sustained by the adverse party if the adverse party is wrongfully enjoined.”

1.610(b). That Rule further requires that every injunction shall specify the reasons

for its entry.   1.610(c).   The order in this case does not comply with either

requirement. Meinstein v. Travel Etc., Inc., 

(Fla. 3d DCA 1983).

      The order on appeal fails to specify the reasons for its entry. Indust. Waste

Servs., Inc. v. Faircloth Sanitation, Inc., 

(Fla 3d DCA 1988).

While the order states that it is being entered “to maintain the status quo as

currently prevailing,” this is insufficient, because that is the general function of

every temporary injunction. City of Sunny Isles Beach v. Temple B’Nai Zion,

Inc., 

(Fla. 3d DCA 2010); Morgan v. Herff Jones, Inc., 

(Fla. 2d DCA 2004). Clear, definite and unequivocally sufficient factual

findings must justify a preliminary injunction. City of Sunny 

906, and 906 n.2 (reiterating that to obtain a temporary injunction a party must

establish irreparable harm; no adequate remedy available at law; substantial

likelihood of success of the merits; injunction will serve public interest).

      Also fatal to the order is the failure to require the posting of a bond. This

requirement is mandatory under Rule 1.610(b). CJM Partners, LLC v. Di Giacomo,

(Fla. 3d DCA 2016); Diaz v. John Adcock Ins. Agency, Inc., 

(Fla. 2d DCA 1999); Meinstein.

      Accordingly, the order is reversed and remanded for dissolution of the

temporary injunction.
