Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Rental property problem
I received a renewal notice on my apartment door on January 19, 2007 saying my lease would be over on February 28, 2007 and beginning March 1, 2007, I would be charged $90 more than what I was currently paying.
I turned in my notice to vacate on January 19, 2007, explaining I would not be able to afford the rent increase and would be vacating by Feb. 28. I paid the rent and vacated on Feb. 4.
I received a letter saying that I had terminated my lease early and owed them approx. $2000 on Feb. 17 because my lease actually ended March 31. Is this a viable case to fight or will the renewal notice be void when compared with the lease, even when they were aware of their mistake, as stated by the assistant manager when we spoke to them Feb. 17?

You definitely should contest the $2k charge; you both appear to have relied upon their mistake.

Re: Rental property problem

It sounds like a case you should contest.
