Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

If a landlord is going to sue you for a broken lease what is the time frame that they have to file something against you? Or is there one at all even? What if they gave us a verbal agreement and are now telling us that that isn't the case that they won't let us out of the lease? Should an email stating they won't be giving us a statement like we spoke of earlier show the court that they did in fact let us out of our lease? This is what they emailed us-"My husband and I have given it further thought and we have decided not to provide any such statement." Shouldn't that right there tell them that they had previously agreed to let us out of our lease verbally and are now not?

A reasonable time frame. Within 30 days. Stop playing with these people. If you have moved, let them file a notice of action against you. Appear for the hearing and tell you side of the story. It appears this is a game with these people to try and force more funds from you.
