Q: Do our tenants get their security deposit back with the FL Early Termination & Liquidated Damages fee?
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
It's difficult to say because you only included a couple of clauses from the contract. One would have to read the full contract to see if your management company is reading it correctly.

Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
The landlord told you that you could stay in the shed until Monday? The landlord would probably file, in the same case, for a supplemental writ of assistance, directing the sheriff to eject you from the property.

You need to file a probate petition. Assuming that the property is in Florida, you should contact a Florida attorney who can advise you how to proceed. It may be necessary to pay off the lien, but in any case I would doubt that the lien will show on YOUR credit reports.

Q: Can my sister kick our mother out her home even though I gave her 9,000 towards the purchase of her home?
Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
It looks like you should have drawn up a contract with your sister. Assuming that you didn't, the $9,000 would probably be considered a gift with no enforceable strings attached.

Terrence H Thorgaard's answer
I assume it's a tax foreclosure rather than a mortgage foreclosure. In any event, it depends upon the terms of your lease if you have one. If you still have, pursuant to the terms of the lease (or at-will tenancy), the right to occupy the premises when the foreclosure is complete and the landlord looses title, you could sue the landlord for breach of contract.
