Opinion of the Court
FARMER, Judge.

FARMER, Judge.

We grant the petition for writ of certiorari and remand with instructions to require plaintiff to post a good and sufficient bond or grant defendant’s motion to dissolve lis pendens. We conclude that, even viewing the evidence most favorably to respondent, there is no evidence or showing of any intention that respondent would acquire title to any of the subject real property; and consequently there was no showing of any nexus between the legal or equitable title to the property and respondent’s claims below. See Chiusolo v. Kennedy, 614 So. 2d 491 (Fla. 1993); Acapulco Construction, Inc. v. Reda-vo Estates, Inc., 645 So. 2d 182 (Fla. 3d DCA 1994). Moreover, the failure to require a bond was a departure from the essential requirements of law for which there is no adequate remedy by final appeal. See, e.g., Feinstein v. Dolene, Inc., 455 So. 2d 1126, 1128 (Fla. 4th DCA 1984). CERTIORARI GRANTED; ORDER QUASHED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.

STONE and STEVENSON, JJ., concur.

    …foreclose on an equitable lien was proper. In order for a lis pendens to be properly filed, there must be a “nexus between the legal or equitable title to the property and [the plaintiffs] claims below.” Space Dev., Inc. v. Fla. One Constr., Inc., 657 So. 2d 24, 24 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995). This nexus requires that the plaintiffs claim could potentially grant some interest in the realty itself before a lis pendens can be maintained. Okur v.

See Space Development, Inc. v. Florida One Constr., Inc., 657 So. 2d 24 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995). Because there is therefore no underlying ground for the lis pendens,2 the order under review, which denied the landlord’s motion to dissolve it, is reversed and the cause remanded with directions to strike the lis pendens in que…
