Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
In oct 2008 i moved into a condo in st. Petersburg fl. For 1200.00 with a one year lease. The next 4.5 years i just paid 1200.00 month to month. In April of 2015 i got a verbal that i could have first right of refusal. 2 weeks later the landlord sold the condo without giving me first right of refusal and is sending me notice that i must be out in 55 days. Under florida law do i have any rights and what are they?

Your lease agreement controls. Even though it ended it may still give you some rights. If not, than on a month to month lease they only have to give you 15 days notice. As for the right of first refusal, unless it was supported by some legal consideration it likely is not enforceable. Seek some legal help with all your paperwork,
