The holding that § 697.07 does not apply preter-mits a finding on the retroactivity of the statute. . . .
. . . Florida Stat. § 697.07 provides: A mortgage may provide for an assignment of rents. . . . The court examined the law prior to the amendment of § 697.07, and concluded at 321 that: ..., it was . . . Stat. § 697.07 such a literal interpretation. . . . Stat. § 697.07, the rent assignment becomes absolute. . . . Stat. § 697.07. Recently, the analysis undertaken by the court in Aloma Square was affirmed. . . .
. . . . § 697.07. . . . Fla.Stat. § 697.07 does nothing more than dispel the necessity of a mortgagee to seek a receiver to protect . . .
. . . A significant portion of the debtor’s memorandum is devoted to a discussion of Florida Statute § 697.07 . . . Section 697.07 did not become effective until October 1, 1987 and, while I recognize that one court has . . . held that § 697.07 applies retrospectively, In re Aloma Square, Inc., 85 B.R. 623, 625 (Bankr.M.D.Fla . . . Section 697.07 contains no explicit language authorizing retroactive application, and as noted by the . . . Franklin and Camelot courts, the retrospective application of § 697.07 would impair a mortgagor’s rights . . .
. . . Instead, the Appellant challenges the court’s application of section 697.07 to the facts of instant case . . . The court concluded that the section 697.07 had retroactive application because it is purely a remedial . . . The Appellant contends, on the other hand, that section 697.07 effectively abolished its substantive . . . Section 697.07 therefore cannot be applied retrospectively to deprive Appellant of the rental proceeds . . . Section 697.07, Florida Statutes, provides: A mortgage may provide for an assignment of rents. . . .
. . . . § 697.07 puts rents outside of the bankruptcy estate altogether). . . . FLA.STAT. § 697.07 states in part: A mortgage may provide for an assignment of rents. . . .
. . . Accordingly, the Court must apply Florida law, specifically § 697.07, Fla.Stat., to the case at bar. . . . The Florida assignment of rents statute, § 697.07, became effective on October 1, 1987. . . . Prior to the enactment of § 697.07, Florida common law provided that a mortgagee was not entitled to . . . The Court’s interpretation of § 697.07 also receives support from existing case law. . . . The Mortgage contained an assignment of rents clause governed by § 697.07, Fla.Stat. . . .

Fla.Stat. § 697.07 provides in pertinent part: A mortgage may provide for an assignment of rent and if . . . Under Florida common law prior to the enactment of § 697.07, it was well settled in this State that a . . . Notwithstanding the liberal language of the Statute, this Court is satisfied that § 697.07 was not intended . . . This conclusion is also consistent with the balance of the language contained in § 697.07, which states . . .
. . . On November 14, 1988, Investors made written demand on debtor for rents pursuant to § 697.07, Florida . . .

. . . . § 697.07. That statute provides: A mortgage may provide for an assignment of rents. . . . FLA.STAT. § 697.07 makes all Florida assignments of rents into absolute transfers of the ongoing income . . . This Court fundamentally disagrees with the Aloma Square Court’s characterization of § 697.07 as “merely . . . The language of FLA.STAT. § 697.07 contains no explicit language authorizing a retroactive application . . . FLA.STAT. § 697.07 cannot be applied to these cases in a fashion which is defensible under the cited . . .
