Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Landlord changign lease period

I signed a lease which went from August 2006 to January 2007. I told the landlord I would like to renew my lease but for no specified term. From February to March she had not sent me the new lease to sign until I requested a lease extension in March. So far, I have paid Feb, March, & April rent in full by the month. I have been having issues with my landlord so when she sent me the lease extension in sometime in April. I decided I did not want to sign it but ratheer gave her 30 days notice saying that I would be moving out by the end May. She wrote back that ''since I refused to sign the paperwork (i.e lease extension)the previous terms offerred to meare nullified. I am officially on a week to week term & I need to move out by May 13th. ''The ''week to week'' is the first I have heard of as for 3 months I have been paying by the month. Can she change the month to month term lease period to a week to week just to get me out?

Re: Landlord changign lease period

Not if you really were month to month, that means if you paid the rent once a month on time. If you're month to month then you only have to give 15 days notice; that may be what the landlord is thinking of.
