Is this a legal eviction?

Question

we live in the state of florida (Broward county). we are planning on moving out of state and right now, the home we are renting, we are paying on a month to month basis.
our landlord just stuck a letter in our door while we were out and it stated that they want us out by the 26th of this month since they would like to lease the property to their relative.

Is this legal?? a two week eviction......i would think we would get at least 30 days.

thanks!

Here's a site where you can go for the laws in your... State... sometimes landlords do not share these laws with the tenants and more or less your left in the dark about your rights.
Every state is different in the ways they make them laws up. There's two sates in the USA that has to this day to pass laws to protect the tenants. http://www.uslandlord.com/ just go to Laws & Statutes and then pick the state you live in theres you laws up-dated at the time you go on this site.

This way its good to know you right unless, some people end up with a bad landlord because... there bluff works most of the time because of lack of knowledge of your rights.
After you have looked at your rights and theirs.
Then you know where you can go as far as taking up for yourself.
If your civil rights has been broking you can call your local...Legal Aid and they will give you the number of a Pro-Bone-O Lawyer the help you in any problems you endure.*
http://www.lawyers.com/ is a site where you can talk to a chat with an attorney live also on there site... you can get a lawyer in your home town if you wish to go that way.

I live in Oregon and I had the same problem last year. The law here in Oregon is that they CAN do this. A landlord can ask you to leave for no cause (even as short as within 24 hrs). I don't know about where you are, I suggest that you contact your local state office regarding tenant-landlord laws. If you have done nothing wrong or illegal, you can choose to go to court and have the judge decide how long you get to move out. Ultimately, you will have to move.

It does not seem legal, but in most cases it is. Good Luck with this problem. I feel that the laws here in Oregon only allow the landlord the ability to show how MEAN they are. In Oregon the laws are predominantly for the landlord.

Answer 3

In most states they have to give you at least 30 days to vacate the property. They have to take you to court and have a judge legally evict you. They also have to have a legitimate reason to evict you. Unless there is a loop hole in the lease you signed they can't just give you two weeks to get out. Talk to a lawyer as soon as possible. Good Luck

The question can't be competently answered in this Yahoo medium, because it doesn't take into account what the landlord might have to say. There are variables to anything.

Answer 6

you're month to month, so which you haven't any longer have been given a hire. even nevertheless, in case you have paid hire on time, you're paid up until eventually at last the final day of the month, so he can not have you ever out earlier then. distinctly in Broward County, he can not basically kick you out, he has to circulate for the duration of the county. solid success.

Answer 7

I think you do have the 30,stand up for your rights. Renters have more rights than the renties at times.

Answer 8

wow thats horrible. i think maybe you have reduced rights since it is month to month - but i dont think they are *that* reduced! each state is different so i would recommend getting in contact with your local renter's association. you can probably google the contact info for them.
