Is a Florida lease binding if the tenant signed it but the landlord didn't?

This argument has been raised countless times by many defendants. It's the old "Well on my lease, my landlord signed it but I didn't", it just happens to be its antecedent. But think of that argument in this perspective:
- The landlord or his attorney wrote the lease.
- Chances are you've never met the landlord prior to having some sort of interest with them (the place you rented). So how would you have the defendants contract with your signature on it, in your possession?
These facts can easily be obtained by asking the respective parties these questions. These questions give rise to the fact that a contract can be binding if both parties act in a way in which a reasonable and ordinarily prudent person would find that a contract existed.Even though the landlord may not have signed the lease agreement, you both acted in a way in which would suggest a landlord-tenant relationship exists. You're therefore bound by your lease.

Yes, if it has been signed by the Landlord and Tenant.
Can you landlord have you sign a lease and then say you did not get the apartment?
No. A lease is a legally binding contract, which obligates both the landlord and tenant to a tenancy for the term of the lease. If you and the landlord both signed a lease, and the landlord refuses to give you occupancy of the property, you need to see a landlord-tenant attorney or tenant's rights group immediately!

Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?
I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
If the Landlord signs the lease with a tenant and finds out the tenant has been evicted 8 times?
This should have been disclosed when the landlord performed the background check, before the lease was signed. Well, if the landlord had an application for an apartment to which the tenant denied having been evicted if there were questions that asked such, then the landlord can terminate the lease for the tenant having falsified the information given.

What can a Landlord lien of a Tenant's to recover Property Damages in Florida?
To receover property damage in Florida the landlord must file a suit against the tenant. If the landlord wins he can collect using usual means of collecting on a judgment. If the tenant has property then a lien can be placed on it to satisfy a judgment. But if the lien is on a primary home then he cannot be forced to sell the home per homestead laws.
