Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Can you get evicted for having dogs not allowed. We were housing three puppies until we could find them a home. We were evicted and told we have to pay rent for the rest of the lease.

If you were told no dogs allowed in your lease, then no dogs allowed and yes you can be evicted.
