Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

We are on our second 1 yr lease ( we are 2 months into our yr lease). my husband's job wanted him in office ( out of state). My husband and I are both on the lease.. "I" put in a hand written letter to vacate and signed it. Our complex needs my husband and I to sign and fill out "their" vacate form, we never did. Our apartment is then put on the available list to rent. A woman put a deposit down, that is all, no lease is signed. Now, knowing I am pregnant his job is allowing us to stay here till our lease is up. I inform the office. I am now told we have to move out and that the woman with a deposit has the upper hand. Q: with an active lease remaining of 9 months and leasing office knowledge of us not moving, along with no lease signed from the woman interested in our apt. AND and incomplete letter from me because my husbands signature is not on it and our leasing office's form in not filled out ... what leg do we have to stand on? We are in Florida.

Your lease agreement and any additional paperwork you have signed will control. that needs to be reviewed by an attorney. The lack of your husband's signature may not save you from the effect of the form.
