These men relocated by choice due to pressure. The city Commissioner and Orlando leaders have no legal authorization to evict anyone from they're premises.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —
Two sex offenders who caused an uproar when neighbors found out they were living feet from the community park have moved, but the battle isn’t over; the convicted sex offenders are taking the city of Orlando to court.
Channel 9’s Jeff Levkulich was there as residents got an update on the situation from city leaders.
David Levitat, who owns the home, moved out Wednesday.
He was originally told that it was OK to move into the neighborhood, which is a short distance from the park, but the city said it’s against the law.
Orlando leaders held a special town hall meeting at Lake Nona High School for about 30 residents of Laureate Park.
They wanted to know how Levitat, a former doctor who was convicted of having sex with a 13-year-old in 2005, was able to move into a $500,000 home recently, with another sex offender, Brian Zuvich, close to a park where children play.
“It was just unfortunate it wasn’t caught. But once the neighbors who are engaged and involved in the community brought it to our attention, we dealt with it and within 30 days both of the offenders moved out,” said City Commissioner Jim Gray.
Members of the Orlando Police Department went over the laws with residents regarding sex offenders and how the department is dealing with the problem.
Many of those who were at the meeting said they were relieved with how the city handled the situation.
“They are very responsive and that’s what we want. That’s what our tax dollars are here for so I’m glad they are here and very responsive to our needs,” said resident Maria Gonzalez.
Despite the men moving out, a lawsuit is pending.
