Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I moved into a new home 45 days ago and the rent was 433 by verbal agreement. today (august 16th, 2012) the landlord came and said it was going to be raised 200 dollars for the next month (sept). Then her father called tonight and said it would be 750 dollars due at the beginning of sept. which amount am i obligated to pay and am i obligated at all without written notice. Her father is not the owner of the home and has no legal right as it is in her name only. the property is located in sumter county fl.

Whatever they want, since you have no written agreement.
If the rental is paid monthly, they can change the amount monthly, with sufficient notice to give you an opportunity to move out. I would try and get something in writing that you can live with so you dont have to go through this every month.
