Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
We had a 1 yr lease with option to buy which will end in March and the owners are now selling the house in a short sale unfortunatly we are unable to get the financing at this time and they got a cash offer and they still want us to pay them rent. But one of my questions is that if the house is in short sale does that mean they have stopped paying their mortgage? We would like to know our rights in this matter.
Thank you, Carolyn

No, and as long as you live there you are still required to pay rent pursuant to your agreement with the landlord. Regards,
