Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Illegal Eviction
I just recently starte3d renting a house from a couple in Riviera Beach. Upon moving in I let them know that I was tight on cash but If thye could work with me I would like to have used my tax return for my movin and deposit. They oked everything and I gaave them $600 as a security and processing fee. Well, My tax return got lost in the mail and it has taken longer than expected to get the $ I owe them. They are threating to changed the locks if I don't give them something. Can they do this? I don't get paid till the 12th of next month ( I work in sales). Please help. I have no where to go. What are my rights.

Re: Illegal Eviction

They cannot legally do that. They must start proper eviction procedures.
