Answer 1

A landlord can take back their property at any time, but must give you a full 30 day notice. They do not have to give you a reason.

Answer 2

These laws are governed by the individual state. I highly recommend you go to this site immediatly...http://www.hud.gov/local/fl/renting/tena...

A lease is a legally bound contract. He may not just kick you out. If you are in default of this lease, he must go through a legal process to get you evicted. He must obtain a court order from a judge. If you are not in default of the lease agreement you have every legal right to stay unitl the end of the lease. He may not threaten you in any way if you choose to leave. He must still abide by the lease.You and the landlord may, however come to an agreement to terminate the lease.  If you choose this, I would highly recommend you get a signed and noortized copy of the agreement. The above site has links to a few places that refer to your situation. Please go read it or you may get screwed.

Absolutely Ed, If  you choose to agree to end the lease, you should demand he pay your moving expenses and additional compensation. You can legally demand to get paid to leave.

Answer 3

They are being jerks.  You would win in court but it's not worth the effort . THe landlord would hate you and you did nothing wrong.  See if they will pay you a bonus for moving early.  Tell them that a longtime landlord said that your landlords know that they can't sign a lease and then tell you to move out..... that they should do the right thing and give you $2,500 to hit the road.  /

Answer 4

Wow, that's really unfair. However, you are going to have to read your lease and see if it says anything about that. It might. It might say something like if the landlord chooses to move back in you have to vacate the premises. If it does, you've been badly shafted indeed.  

Answer 5

I would read your lease very closely to see what the termination provisions are.  Usually, your landlord has to give you 30 days notice at a minimum.  But to really fight it, you would need to go to court.
