My rent is $1200, I gave landlord $800 and he accepted the money. Since my roommate left and I cannot afford the unit I am looking for a new place and living my last month's rent. However, he filed an eviction for the remaining $400 and is not allowing me to live my last month's rent. What can I do?

If he accepted partial payment he may have an issue attempting to evict you. Write your answer with this information but you are usually required to put the remaining amount of rent in the court's registry.

You can contact the local bar association where you live to get an attorney who can help. You need to file a stay to give you more time to get out of the property and file an action against your granddaughter for the alleged fraud and monies owed.

What does the lease say? The reason why the landlord wants them on the lease is to guarantee payment if something happens and also to evict all adults if necessary.

You should work on moving out right away. The there needs to be a writ of possession served by the sheriff. The sheriff will give you one day 24hrs to vacate sometimes on a Friday to give you the weekend to get out. Once the sheriff shows up you need to be out of the property.

FL Statute 83.49 states they have 30 days or they must follow what in the lease agreement to give you notice in regards any damage claims. The alternative is to sue for that money in small claims court if under the 5000.00 total.
