Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Landlord Tenant

yes, it is enforceable.

Re: Landlord Tenant

It might be enforceable. What type of business entity do the two owners have and is one owner permitted to act on behalf of the other? Those questions would need to be answered.

Possibly. If the rental agreement had been entered into between the parties and the owner who signed it had the actual apparent authority to bind the parties, it might be held to be enforceable against them. Further, if the agreement has already been in force for several months, the landlords would be hard pressed to now claim that it is not valid. If possession has already been given to you, and you have moved into the property, you have a much stronger argument than if you have not yet been given possession. You should consult a local attorney to review the matter and who can explain your legal rights and obligations to you.
