More details to this question:
Mom had a 1 year lease on a private home for 1400 a month from Oct. 2018-Oct. 2019. I moved in Sept. 2019 to help my mom (she has dementia). In Oct. 2020 when we were going to sign the new lease they told us that the rent will increase by $200. There were no prior notice and we had no choice to sign the new lease since we had no where else to go. We live in Sun Center Florida. Is this legal?

You DO realize its not Oct 2020 yet - right? Thats not for 6 months. If the old lease expired and a new lease was signed for $200.00 a month more, there is no notice required in relation to terms of a new lease. There was always a choice and plenty of places to go, unless you are claiming thats the only place for rent in Sun Center.
