Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I rent a cabin in Florida and have never been late on paying rent. Recently I was told by the"caretaker" that I have to move out by the first of June because he promised his daughter 2 years ago that she could rent the cabin whenever she was ready to. This was never disclosed to me at any time. I do not want to move and I certainly can't afford to move. There is no lease and I pay the rent to the"caretaker" by cash. Do I have a legal right to refuse to move?

Your lease can be terminated on appropriate statutory notice. If you pay monthly, you can be given 15 days notice to vacate.
