Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I have been renting a condo for 6 years, am a good tenant and have never been late with a rental payment. My lease expired and I decided not to renew my lease agreement. The landlord/owner and I agreed in writing my last day in the unit would be August 31, 2012. I will be leaving the unti in good condition and am in the process of packing and moving on August 29, 2012. The landlord says he has a person to rent the unit I am living in on September 1, 2012. My annual rental agreement which expired nor the thirty day notice states anything about me being obligated to the landlord/owner to allow him to show the unit while I am still living there. Am I obligated to let the landlord/owner in the unit before I move to show it to a prospective tenant while I am still living in the unit?
