How many days of no air conditioning do I have to endure before I can legally refuse to pay rent or can go to a hotel and be compensated, or sue the landlord or something?
This is now the 5th day and in Florida it is not possible to be here. It's just a window unit, though it is in a way built into the window itself, the landlord could even just buy a new AC. I would even do it myself but the lease prohibits that kind of change by the tenant. |

When did you report it? Did you do it in writing? What discussions have you had with the landlord? What's his excuse?
5 days is way too long for a window unit to be replaced. Florida's repair and deduct statute is 83.60. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/...s/0083.60.html Note the proper notice requirements before you can go out and buy one and withhold rent. And forget being compensated for a motel. That's not going to happen because your remedy is specific and trumps your lease prohibition. |
