Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I live in Sarasota, Fl in an historic apartment building. I have resided here for about a year and a half. My lease has expired about six months ago without and verbal or nonverbal agreement between my landlord and myself. I feel since this is the case that I may move without and troubles. However, my landlord has demanded a months rent from me even though I will not be residing during that month. Is she within her legal right to do so? Or may I legally pay only for the days in which I resided for the month?

Whatever your previous lease rental payment term was continues in a holdover tenancy. That means that if you paid your rent monthly, then your new tenancy is a month to month tenancy. If you paid rent every 6 months, then you have a biannual (every 6 months) tenancy.
