My landlord is evicting me because I was texting him about my safety at my RV and because I cursed at him and was disrespectful, he's decided that I need to leave at the end of the month.

Hire a FL attorney to sue all occupants and that known individual for possession only.
We are dealing with someone illegally on our property. He was arrested recently for burglary and grand larceny. He is on probation. We would like to contact his probation officer to let him know the person is committing more crime. Any advice appreciated.

I had him sign a declaration of nonresidency which clearly states that he’s an overnight guest and any belongings are there for storage only and he’s not a resident and never will be. Do I still have to traditionally evict him? or could I call the police and have him kicked out for violating... View More
I'm not sure what the new laws are. Does the landlord have to give notice if not renewing, can she increase rent without notice, what are my rights in Miami Dade county? If these things were required and she didn't give notice, which she hasn't, does my lease renew automatically?

You must read the lease to see whether the lease renews automatically as a month to month lease or terminates. If unclear speak to a real estate attorney so we can review the lease and advise.

Th explanation of the facts of the case is a bit confusing as I am unclear on whether you are an owner or tenant. Nevertheless, any overpayment on a purchase typically is reimbursed by the escrow agent. The terms of the contract should be reviewed to identify whether they address what needs to... View More

You may be able to terminate the lease. However, it appears you likely need to provide a notice to cure under the statute and thereafter you may be able to exercise your right to termination of the lease and/or rent abatement.

Not really. You have 30 days. If you need more time and the LL won't give you more time, that's the end of it. There's no legal action to get more time. The fact that you've always paid your rent on time is immaterial. Sorry, but there is no credit for past on-time payments. 30... View More

Your question is incomplete. What information do you need? Are you asking how you can find that information? Or what you should do if the eviction complaint is defective. Either way, you should talk to an attorney for advice after checking the case.

As you have explained it, the funds belong to your mother, so they should be part of her estate. However, a review of the lease could change the answer to your questions. For instance, if you were on the lease or there was an assignment clause.

You have multiple issues going on and you should consult with a landlord/tenant lawyer if you are being sued for eviction or have received a notice to vacate. The statute you are citing actually supports the park evicting you if you failed to obtain approval as a tenant.
