Keeping Security Deposit
My tenant was on a month to month and moved out of the apartment without my knowledge with no written or verbal notice. I found out on the 13th of the month when I called to collect rent. Place was left dirty, rent was late many times during the lease, more than one person lived on the premises during the lease even though the lease said one person. Do I have a right to keep the security depaosit (equal to one month’s rent) as final month’s rent for not being given notice of tenant moving out?

Florida foreclosure/ turning over a home to the bank
I started renting a house on a month to month lease in December that same month I was served with foreclosure papers. My landlord is now claiming he is going to turn the house over to the bank. Is this possible if the house is going into foreclosure? What is the process of giving a house to the bank? If he does turn the house over how long do I have to move out?
Thanks,
Rachel

Terminating a Lease
If an existing lease to rent an apartment has a duration of one year, terminating on Dec. 31st, but the landlord has added a paragraph stating ”after Mar.31st, if apartment is sold he can require the tenant to leave with 15 day notice” does the lease then become a month to month rental in which the tenant can give a 30 day notice to vacate?

Florida Land Contract
Does a Land Contract have to be registered to be considered a legal document in the state of Florida? I have one that has been signed by both parties, witnessed and signed and stamped by a Notary Public. Is that sufficiant to be considered legal in Florida?
Thank you
