QUESTION
Rental questions problems with management and ownership
Asked on Jul 28th, 2021 on Contracts - Florida
More details to this question:
I was offered a new lease and increase was over 200.00 per month. I wrote management explaining my displeasure with my apartment and letting them know I may have to repossess my car in order to stay and pay rent increase since I was told no negotiation. I accepted the offer they never made the lease and have made excuses ever since. Offer sheets ends Monday. So I need to know my rights.

You have none of consequence. Once the lease is up, you move if there is no new rental agreement or you are subjected to eviction. If you don't have a rental agreement in place, whether a lease or MTM you are a hold over tenant and subject to eviction and DOUBLE rent damages. Telling a landlord you cannot afford the new rent and will have to let your car get repossessed is foolish as it may reinforce that they need you out and to get a tenant that can afford to live there in.
