Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Mailbox Law Question

Ok, my fiance and I just moved into a house with a single man and his dog. He moved in Jan 1st 2009 we moved in Feb 1st 2009 as a roommate situation from 6 to 12 months. The first 2 months would be bartered on the premise that we install 2 televisions. We have not negotiated a set monthly price or utility price. It has been exactly a month that we have been here and he wants us to move out now. In addition to that I had changed my address at the post office and on my driver's license just like i do every time i move and i have not received 1 piece of mail. Im waiting on information with my bank and my tax return as well. I have been called by my old utility company saying my refund check said return to sender. He has been taking my mail and possibly taking it back to the post office and/or return to sender on them. The roommate we are speaking of is not the owner. He rents and he has to answer to a landlord. What is it exactly that he is doing that is illegal? I know messing with mail is a federal offense but im not sure if it is on a per item basis or what. I just need to know where I stand because we are not ready to move nor were we discussing a 1 month stay period. Im pretty sure i covered it all.
