Florida**************...Don't this beat all
My apartment complex changed hands on 02/01/06, The new owners will be converting the units into condo's. My lease expires on 02/28/06, today 02/02/06 I found a notice on my door that there will be major renovations taking place and they will not be renewing my lease, (no mention of the conversion). I planned on buying when the offering was made.
I know that in the state of Florida, no reason has to be given as to why a lease is not being renewed but don't I have a right of first refusal prior to being evicted.
Do I have any legal standing to stay in my apartment or do I have to leave at the end of the month.
Or is there any legal way to stall the eviction. I have been only been given a 27 day notice to vacate the premises. I will be out of state for 10 days on business near the end of the month and will not have time to find a new residence, pack or hire movers.
I'm really in a bind here, can anyone offer some good advice.
Thank you
