Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
My landlord just told me he wants out of our lease agreement because I paid late this month because of a hospital stay and when I signed the lease he said no smoking in apt which I have respected even though it is not in the lease. He said because he smelled cigarettes in my car he can only assume I do it in the apt and I needed to be out by the 13th which gives me less than a week. I am not a problem tenant paid rent always on time even early on two occassions I have a 2 year lease and have done 9 months of it what are my rights I paid first and deposit but not last so technically the 13th is the day my rent is due again

For FL law regarding your rights as a tenant, check out this website: http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html and scroll down to the part that states "Failure to Meet Obligations."
Until a judge orders your eviction, you need not move out.I see no grounds for a eviction.
