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.

You are month to month, so you do not have a lease. However, if you have paid rent on time, you are paid up till the last day of the month, so he cannot have you out before then. Especially in Broward County, he cannot just kick you out, he has to go through the county. Good luck.

you are right that is for there convenience only if they want you to move they must serve you with at least a 30 day notice,although I live in California and here I think it changed to 60 days if the reason is that the owner is or has sold the property so you might want to look into that.Just let him know in writing that you disagree and if you do want to move then you give him a notice for 30 days or take him to small claims to get ,more time just make sure everything is legal on your part you don't want to go thru eviction.good luck

If you want to ask an attorney what to do and have someone represent your rights and keep this jerk of a landlord from pushing you out the door, I would suggest a Pre Paid Legal plan. For more information visit the link below.

It's not legal, I would stay put until they file the eviction paperwork and then tell the judge you weren't given a 30 day notice.
Now, say if you're doing drugs then "yes" the 2 week notice is sufficient.

First this is not an eviction, this is merley a notice to move out.
You can merely say no, he will have to go file for a real eviction in court, you will be served with a summons to appear in court, he will present his case and you will do a defense if you have one, at that point they will order an eviction.
I do beleive they have to provide a 30 day notice but did not look it up to be sure.

Read your lease the fine print it should tell you exactly how much notice is to be given...then if it says that you have 30 days then you have 30 days but if he wants you out sooner then tell him that you want half your rent back and your security deposit back so you can move. references: former landlord

yes it is legal if there are grounds for them to kick you out. like behind on rent, etc. they can do anything from a few week notice of eviction to a five day eviction. however, if you haven't done anything to violate your lease, then it's not a legal eviction just to lease to their relative. they need to wait for you to give your notice before they kick you out by a certain date. doesn't sound right to me.

no, they have to give you at least 30 days, and have a valid reason for evicting you, if youre not planning on leaving before then, let her take you to court... youll win
