Q: Can landlord cancel lease because children living in home were not on the annual lease?
Lease goes through Nov 2017. 3 minor children live in home, were present when applying for home and have been home for any and all repairs arranged by landlord.
Received a 30 day notice to vacate - last 6 months rent has always been current and house is in perfect condition.
A: You should talk to an attorney ASAP. The attorney will need to see your lease, if you have a written lease. Under the Florida Statutes, usually a tenant is given a 7 day notice if the tenant is not in compliance with the lease provisions. This sounds like a strange action by the landlord and that's why talking to an attorney will be best.
