Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Number of Days Notice from Lanlord on Increase
We have a contract to buy the house we are currently leasing. It is not a lease with option to buy. It is a contract for sale of the property to us and we are renting until sale goes through. My landlord told me that our rent is going up and is due at next rent payment. How much notice does she legally have to give us if she is even allowed to increse it? In the contract it states we will pay X amount until the sale goes through.

Re: Number of Days Notice from Lanlord on Increase
This is why attorneys do not give advice over
the phone or internet. In your question you stated
you had a contract to buy and then you stated
you were renting. There is a big difference as
to how you are taking possession. Everything
depends upon the wording of the agreement. You need
to make an appointment to see an attorney who
will review the contract for you.
