 I've not talked about this matter anywhere but here, because I was looking for advice on the situation that was unfolding. The training takes Nine Weeks and Four days for basic, not including Ait and job training for the United States Army. Basic Training isn't the issue here. The issue is that the landlord is not being very forthcoming with what they want. The notice is void since it's four months old and he accepted rent after the fact, and a weeks notice is against the Florida laws. I just needed to know what legal action he would be taking in regards to Evicting us if he wasn't doing it wrongly like he is now. I do not plan on staying here. It's not as easy as 1,2,3, move out. Unfortunately, there is a procedure to follow, money to gather (which for us is next to impossible for the amount it would take to move anywhere in this area of South Florida) and rental properties to visit and search for. If it was as easy as you are making it seem, we would have been gone four months ago. Minimum wage doesn't pay well enough to move out somewhere, and unfortunately, no places near me were hiring, let alone hiring with a wage good enough to save up and move with. Thanks for your advice though.

Still using voice to text as I'm still vigorously moving all of our items to a storage unit

 The notice we had gotten four months ago is Nolan void by Florida law since he took rent from us for the four months that we were there so no that notice doesn't apply to us right now. I've been doing research and Florida state law on a month-to-month lease requires 20 days and notice not one week. The only reason we are abiding by what this landlord wants us to do is because we have no written lease tying us to this place at all which would mean he can get the police involved and just negate the entire legal process from what my understanding of this situation has come to. Currently there are no people looking for roommates, we've tried that route already. It's just the way things are right now all of the rental properties have been soaked up in this area due to it being tourist season. The ones that have not yet been claimed are overpriced by about 5 to $600. The rates before season where way lower. We don't intend on staying and I don't really want to fight the landlord on this because it always favors them in court. The unfortunate irony in this situation is that here in 30 to 60 days will be out anyways because I'll be out of basic hopefully by then, the landlord just can't wait for whatever reason even though the only thing he's waiting on is to renovate the part of the place we're living in so that he can live in it. He's basically reclaiming our part of the duplex but leaving the other tenant on the other side alone.

Work against. My voice to text screwed that up

 So to put it bluntly the system likes to work with people like me. I filed many times to help find Section 8 housing because I have a minimum wage job and it is the only job that I have ever held at a high school. Every time I apply I'm always over the income limit no matter where I am. Rent down where I live in Florida right now is anywhere between 900 to 1500 a month for a one-bedroom one-bathroom apartment or rental property. To answer your question no I do not want to stay, I want out. 4 months ago when we had the first problem and he put that notice on our door we told him we were trying to move out anyways. I am currently undergoing the process to enlist in the Armed Forces, the army, the only problem being they are waiting for an okay from my medical documents which are out of my control. As soon as I get that phone call and they set up an appointment for me to go get my physical we're out of there. My wife works basically a waitressing job so her pay fluctuates way too much but she cannot find any other work down here. It literally could not have come at a worse time because right now we're at the in-between season stage, a lot of Northerners are still down here holding up rental properties and jacking up the prices and also holding up jobs that we would be able to quote "take" though like I said I am currently diligently packing away all of our belongings into boxes we've already got a storage unit and I am missing work to do this. Suffice it to say that this isn't the only hardship I faced in my life and by no means is it the worst hardship than anyone else on this planet is facing but at this moment in time, it doesn't feel as though I've been able to relax for quite a while.

Without going into all the details involving my life story and just giving you the basis of my life situation currently, this person has no heart and I guess I wouldn't expect them to, coming from a business point. I just hope to get that phone call soon. 

 The issue was he wanted to move us out into a camper on the property that wasn't and still isn't even close to being "livable space" we discussed that since we have been diligently paying rent, often times at a changing rate, that we would agree to move in when it was fixed. Four months after the fact, having paid our rent on time, we received a text saying we have until this Wed to evict or legal action will be taken. Today I have been looking for Boxes since 5 AM. Forgive me if my response time is non-existent and I do extremely appreciate all that have added to this matter.

This person didn't follow the procedure after the notice to quit because we resolved the issue. We've stayed here four months past it without any word of it.

Quite literally the notice is the generic image you get when you type into google "Notice To Quit - Lease Termination" and it wasn't notarized by a court or lawyer, the notice only terminated the lease, which we never had one written, and put us on a month to month lease with no date to leave the property.

To clarify it even further, the Notice to Quit was a placed on the door of our part of the Duplex four months ago and we just received a text message today saying we have to leave by Wednesday next week or he will seek legal action.

The notice to quit only state that it was to quit the lease and put us on a month to month lease. It didn't detail a move out date. Thank you for your replies.

We have been living at this place for nearly 2 years. The "landlord" didn't have us sign a lease agreement for the place but we have been very diligent with our payments. Here recently they have spoken about needing the part of the duplex we live in for themselves to move back on to the premises but we have nowhere to go. We allow them that knowledge and let them know that we are searching for options. After about a month they served a Notice To Quit putting us on a month to month even though there was no prior lease. Now the situation has made it to a critical state in which a text message was received in which they are informing us that the Notice To Quit was an eviction notice, though I doubt it with the words "Notice to Quit" at the very top, and that we have until Wednesday to move out next week. This situation is in dire need of responses from Lawyers who work in our area as this need a resolution. We cannot offer any form of payment as the rent had been sporadically increasing and decreasing due to there being no lease in motion. If you feel that this is something you might be able to aid in, we can and will exchange locale information and contact information so that we might be able to conclude this "landlords" actions with a more firm hand than just what we have found on the internet.
