Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Hi-

I have entered into a rental agreement with a Collier company. I signed my lease a little over two weeks ago, was told that my application had been approved and I was asked to pay a security deposit which I did. I was scheduled to move in yesterday and upon reaching the rental office I was told that my application and screening had not in fact been completely processed and I had no apartment assignment. I was then haphazardly places into a unit that was unfurnished (ie not what I asked for) with a family occupying the rest of the dwelling. To my knowledge the rental contract has still not been signed by the community manager and I am highly upset because had I known that they didn’t have what I asked for available anymore then I would have had time to find housing elsewhere and where I made arrangements to stay temporarily will no longer be available to me after tomorrow. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied. I just want to know what my options are going forward and if I can still be held to the lease that I have signed. Please advise.

The facts given are insufficient to answer. The actual lease agreement must be reviewed to determine your rights and obligations. Seek legal help asap.
