Tenant in Florida - need advice ASAP!

So I’ve been living in an apartment for about 2.5 years, with my mother and I currently on the lease. In October, our lease ended and we were waiting to resign for another year. I was in contact with the office and they told me they were going to let me know when to go to the office to sign. A week after I never received a reply, I went to the office myself to see what was happening. They told me the lady wasn’t there and she was going to call me when she was so we could sign the lease. I left it at that. I figured they just weren’t doing their job properly. Come mid February, I received a termination of tenancy paper saying that our month to month lease was being terminated and we have to be out by the end of the month, leaving us with 14 days to find a new place.

I went to the office and tried to talk to them about it, they said they switched landlords and that was their decision. When asked why the office never called me back to sign the lease, they said they reached out several times. (Complete lies because I was directly in contact through email with the lady, and I even showed the thread of them telling us to come renew the lease). Then their reason switched to the “complaints we had”, and when I asked to see what complains they refused to show me.

Since then I’ve been frantically looking for places, and I applied to several so I’m just waiting on a reply. But now it seems like there’s no way I’m going to receive a reply by the end of the month.

If I overstay, would we lose out security deposit? I’ve asked them for more time to look and they haven’t said anything.

I’m thinking they just purposely ignored and didn’t call us to sign the lease so they could wait until the new year and the eviction ban lifted. They said that because we didn’t resign the lease, they automatically put us on a month to month. Which I never agreed to nor signed for. So i feel like they’re just trying to fuck us over.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
