Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Tenant/Landlord Issue
At the end of April I signed a lease
for a condo and gave $1450 for my
first and last months rent. A
couple days after signing the lease
I was informed that I may lose my
job. I immediately contacted my
future landlord to tell him that I
would not be able to fulfill my end
of the lease. I informed him 5 days
before the lease was set to take
effect. He is not cooperating in
giving me back any of the money I
gave him for first/last months rent.
Do I have any legal options?

You should review your lease to determine what options you have. The lease is a contract that you entered into, and it determines your remedies.

In addition, you may have a remedy if he re rents the condo
