Alfred L. Frith and W. Scott Callahan of Frith Stump, P.A., Orlando, for appellee.
We affirm the appointment, without prior notice, of a receiver of the mortgaged property in this mortgage foreclosure action because the mortgagor defaulted in making mortgage payments and failed to pay the real estate ad valorem taxes for three years, and failed to remit rentals to the mortgagee pursuant to an assignment of rentals after default and after the mortgagee had exercised its right to receive rentals and had made a written demand therefor pursuant to section 697.07, Florida Statutes. See Dixie Music Co. v. Pike, 135 Fla. 671, 185 So. 441 (1938); Bochterle v. Florida Milk Co., 132 Fla. 827, 182 So. 215 (1938); Smith v.
