Defective apartments and homes

If you are a tenant and you have a defective apartment or home and the landlord refuses to fix it, you may be able to withhold rent to force the landlord to fix the problems, or to give you some power to negotiate a termination of the Lease Agreement. You have to read your Lease Agreement very carefully to see if you have this right, and you also have to read Florida Statues section 83.51 to see if you have this right.  WARNING: Law is complex, and if you do this wrong, you could be sued and lose money and the home or apartment you are living in.  If you'd like us to analyze whether you can lawfully refuse to withhold rent, send us your Lease Agreement and make payment of $150.00.  A copy of the law and a sample Seven Day Notice to Withhold Rent are downloadable below.                                                                                      Please be aware of the requirement that you deliver the notice at least 7 days before the start of the next pay period.
