Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I have been renting a house for about three years, but only the first year on a written contract. I moved out with notice and signed a written lease at a new place. One of former roommates at the old house hasn't paid all of his part of last month and any of this month. The landlord threaten to rescind the letter of recommendation that he sent when I applied to my current place because the slacker hasn't paid money. Can he do that. Can I get evicted from my current home even after I paid deposit and first months and pet fees etc. The Written Contract Was For One year

I suppose he can do whatever he wants with the recommendation letter. If you are responsible for the entire rental at the old place, you may be responsible for the rental not paid by former roommates. If you have a new contract and you have paid funds toward that, it is unlikely you can be evicted due to the withdrawal of the recommendation letter.
