Asked on Jul 18th, 2016 on Breach of Contract - Florida
More details to this question:
I have declined to renew my lease end of August with my current landlord. Made arrangements to move, bought furniture specific to the new house. Now the person hired a property manager who, without getting my history, refused to honor the verbal agreement and has told lies about the situation. He said he will not rent to me. I have numerous text messages to her and my intent and showing a unified conversation that an agreement was made.

Its possble to legally argue there is an enforceable agreement though you will need to decide whether its worth spending the money to hire a lawyer to do so and whether the result is worth it. This is not near as clean as having a signed lease, which you should have had, but there are several arguments that can be raised.
