My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
Almost since we moved in (6 months) we have had a small roof leak in the master bedroom that eventually soaks the drywall and makes it soggy/moldy. The landlord has sent someone to repair the roof twice and have put up new drywall once, but every time it rains the roof leaks. The first time they fixed it, it took a month to get the roofer out and a week later the drywall was repaired. Three weeks later it started raining again and leaking. Now it has been 7 weeks since we told them the leak returned and finally a roofer. Tomorrow they are putting new drywall, but tonight it leaked again!
Additionally, every few months the AC starts to leak and most recently we have gotten bed bugs. I must admit that the landlord in all these cases has made some effort in getting things fixed; however it seems minimal and not in a timely fashion. For instance, a month ago we told them about the bedbugs and they sent the "pest control" within three days, but that consisted of someone spraying a can of bedbug poison on our bed and leaving. No where else, just the bed. I informed them immediately that the Pest Control company is not doing their job, but the landlord said they did all they can. They sent pest control out a week later to do the exact same thing. They have since fired the pest control company and hired a new one, but they apparently don't start for another three days from now. I am a patient person, but after not sleeping for nearly a month due to bed bug bites my patience is run out. Florida law seems to indicate that I can serve the landlord with a letter outlining the issues that must be remedied within seven days or I will break the lease.
My question are:
1.) Are these complaints sufficient to warrant such a letter?
2.) If after seven days they don't comply do I have to move out immediately?
3.) Can they still come after me for the remaining amount owed on the lease if I break the lease due to their non-compliance?
