Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I am in the process of a long and nasty divorce. Currently still living in the marital home because he left 9 months ago. The house is owned by his mother and I have not been able to work due to becoming disabled via accident. Prior to accident, I was the sole breadwinner because he could not keep a job due to alcoholism.

Applied to low income housing and finally found a place for which application has been approved and I put the money down to hold my place on Sept. 1, 2016. Unfortunately it will not be available until November.

In the meantime, just received notice in the mail from an attorney stating that the Owner is terminating my tenancy and giving me 30 days notice to vacate and surrender on or before Sept. 30, 2106. No warning or phone call prior to this from the Owner.

I have never paid any rent, the agreement was I can continue to live here with my disabled child while waiting for the low income housing apartment to come through, as long as the bills were paid and the home was maintained. I have been doing that.

Not sure if I have any rights because I do not have alot of extra income and I already put money down, just waiting for the apartment to become available so we can move there.

Thank you for your input.
