First, who's fault is it that you didn't require a written agreement prior to moving into the property?
Second, a quick look at Florida's Landlord/Tenant law shows that a month to month tenancy requires 15 days notice - so it looks like your landlords were within the law.
And third, Landlord/Tenant court cases are some of the most user friendly ON THE TENANT SIDE. Tenants can drag their feet til the cows come home ... police will always defer to the court system and can't remove you without an order of eviction from the courts.
Not around here. The cops aren't lawyers or judges. They don't determine what the legal outcomes are, they just remove you. You can fight the legal battles after you get the heck out, or be arrested for trespassing.

That's 100% untrue.

Chapter 83, Part II, of the Florida Statues governs relations between residential landlords and tenants in Florida. Under that law there are only three ways your landlord can get possession of the premises in which you are living: (1) you abandon the premises by not living there for an extended period of time without notifying your landlord or paying your rent; (2) you voluntarily allow the landlord to take possession of
the premises; and (3) the landlord brings a lawsuit in County Court asking the Judge to order that you be evicted.
Hey, face it, tenants have no rights. You got no money, you got no power.
actually tenants have more rights than landlords do, you just have to exercise them. read the laws regarding your situation, and have them handy for when the need arises.

yep, it takes a lot of time, often 90 days or more, and if the tenant pays any rent in that time, the process starts over.

then you have grounds for fighting the cops unless they have a valid eviction order from the courts. again lawyers are available to those with minimum means like you.

the only way they could get you on trespassing is if you dont have a rental agreement..and what kind of uninformed person would rent with out some kind of contract (agreement)
You know the song, "I fought the law and the law won."?
I don't make the mistake of fighting the law. I've never been arrested, and I don't want to start by trying to fight the cops.
I'm telling you what the law reads doesn't matter a bit, when the execution of it is completely different. What judges say is the law, and what cops say is the law is completely different!

you dont fight the cops on the scene, that is stupid, you fight them in court where the law is applied to your case.
It's useless to tell me what SHOULD have happened--I'm telling you what DID. Two different things.
Again, completely untrue.
Landlord/tenant court is extremely user friendly for the tenant. In fact, in every state there are avenues & legal aid groups that help tenants FOR FREE.
