Also are they responsible if the bed frame sticking out from the bed and I tripped and broke two bones in my wrist

If you suffered injuries as a result of tripping over a concealed hazard and breaking two bones, then the motel could be liable for your medical bills and your pain and suffering. Retain an attorney here in Florida on contingency fee which means you pay nothing unless you win.
I moved into my current dorm over a month ago.

There is no notice required in an unlawful detainer action. As soon as the homeowner passed away, you had no legal right to remain in the house. You've lived rent free for 4-5 months. Pack up your stuff and leave, because you have no apparent legal defenses based on your post.

You do not have any legal rights to the decedent’s property just because he let you stay there rent free for 12 years. However if he left you something in his will, you would have inheritance rights. Your status as of now would be as a de facto tenant at will. The personal representative of the... View More
Hello, our rental lease ends on 7/28/24 and we've decided not to renew and provided a 60day notice on 6/3 which is less than the 60 days they required which means month to month lease will go a few days into August.

Whether they have a right to charge pro-rated rent as liquidated damage depends on wehther the lease has a liquidated damage clause and what it says. Rule of the thumb is charging two months of rent as liquidated damage is considered reasonable in the residential lease enviorment.

Maybe. If you don't have the money now to pay your back rent, you can be forced to leave. You are not a tenant, and the motel operator is not the landlord. You can be locked out of your room until you pay. If you can't pay, you must leave.

In order to evict, you would have to file a probate petition and become his personal representative. You will need an attorney to do that. When you are appointed personal representative, you would be able to stop her from selling what remains of his property.
It would be very strange if... View More

I suspect she has a lease to live on the property. The correct process is ejectment. To do that, someone has to receive the ownership of the property. In that sense, you need to work with a probate attorney and a real estate attorney. If you are in a position to hire one, you are welcome to... View More

It's distressing to hear about your situation. Property managers should not deny renewing a lease without a valid reason, especially for a disabled, protected US citizen. Given your consistent rent payments and good standing in the community, it seems unjust for them to refuse renewal.... View More
