unenforceable lease contract

[kube]

I entered into a one year written lease in a condo association in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. The landlord told me that the rules in his association stipulated that he could only rent once in a yearly time period but that he and I could sign a written lease but we could not tell anyone that I was renting. I would have to say that I was just a friend staying there while I looked for a place to buy and at the first of the year, we could do a legal agreement with the management company. I agreed and told neighbors that I was a friend staying there while I shopped for a condo of my own. The association has now said that I cannot stay longer than 30 days because that is the time limit stipulated in the association docs. The landlord had an outdated set of docs when he bought the condo and did not know about this rule.

My questions are:
1. Is the agreement between me and the landlord and enforceable contract or is it unenforceable because it was entered into in an attempt to defraud the association.
2. Can the association evict me even though I have a contract with the landlord?

You should seek legal counsel from your state. It would appear that your agreement is unenforceable since the LL knowingly and fraudulently attempted to re-rent a unit in violation of association rules. He knew that he could not re-rent the unit so quickly but would have to wait until January to do so. He still attempted to do so and circumvent the rules by using visitor status to allow you to stay. The association has a limit on the amount of time a visitor may stay. They will attempt to evict or file a violation and fine the LL. I suggest you consult an attorney or legal aide to force your LL to terminate this contract with no further obligation from you.
