Question

Landlord-Tenant Law in FL vs CA: I am from CA, but came back to USA via Miami. Was shocked to see apartment rent advertised for $1400/mon and then on signing the papers, landlord said that if we were late on rent, then monthly rent would be increased to "market rent" of $1500/mon. I was floored! What is this "market rent" business? Never saw this when I was growing up in CA, but anything seems to go in FL! Is it legal?



Answer

The wording of the lease you signed controls.



Answer

Any agreement such as this which two parties sign off on is legal.
