Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
We do not have a signed lease agreement with our landlord. We verbally agreed on the basic terms. Landlord provided written agreement to view prior to moving in however she revised the lease and send it via email after we moved in. The new lease had terms that we did not agree to and we wanted to discuss them in person. One of the terms was that she wanted two months rent if we decided to move out before the one year term. Whereas verbally she had stated that either party would just need to give 60 days written notice to terminate the contract early. Long story short we are not seeing eye to eye on these new terms as well she is not fixing things she said she would fix. We are paid through November(which is when we'd like to move out but she is saying that we need to pay her an additional 2 months rent in order to move. Does she have any legal grounds to stand on?

No.. =With no written lease, you are month to month tenant and must give written notice 15 days before the end of the month.
She likely has no legal grounds to enforce a more than 60 day payment to terminate the lease. make sure you give statutory notice of lease termination
