My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
I am renting a condo in Jacksonville, FL. We have discovered that there is a mold problem in the condo. One wall in the kitchen is 100% water and there is water in the ceiling in another part of the house. Mold has been forming every where from the bottom of our leather couches, the kitchen countertops, behind pictures on the wall, etc.
Our landlord is going through the process of getting the mold tested and finding where the water problems are but feels like the construction process to fix the problem might be long and inconvenient for us. She offered to release us from our lease, give back our security deposit, and let us leave the residence as-is.
Would she also be responsible for helping us with moving costs? It is now mid August, if we could not find another place to live until say September 15th, are we required to pay rent for that time (Sept. 1-15), since the place is technically un-livable? What kind of documentation would we need from her to make sure nothing could be brought back to us later, such as repairs? Is she required to give us a copy of the mold report, so we know if we've been exposed to anything harmful and then what would her liability be, if so?
