    Post Can Property Management Restrict Resident Access to Amenities for Special Events

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida

    I am a tenant of a luxury apartment complex ($$$) located in the heart of a big city. Recently the leasing office has been sending out advanced notices of private events (parties) that will be held at the property during in which time the tenants will not have access to the communities amenities including the pool deck, Jacuzzi, club room, business computers, grills, and chill lounge. Usually these events occur on Saturday's 2-3 times a month which, unfortunately for the tenants, is the busiest day that these amenities are used. The property management company is basically making money off these events by renting out our community amenities to outside businesses's and non-profit organizations. There is nothing in my current lease that mentions these private events or the restriction of community amenities for any reason. There is a mixed-use amendment but my understanding is that this applies to the business's surrounding the community and deals more with the hassles of smoke, noise, etc involved with living close to them and again does not mention any events or use/restriction of community amenities. This is a newly built community with new management if that makes a difference

    The kicker to all this is the leasing office, after denying access, will then offer tickets for sale ($100) so that residents can join the private event and then regain access to their amenities during that time.

    My questions are...

    As the cost of these amenities are priced into rent, would their denial of access of community amenities be grounds for a reduction of rent or a valid reason to break out of my lease? I would estimate that they are restricted 2-3 times a month for 6 hrs or more at a time.

    Based on the response to the question above, what should my legal recourse be? This issue is effecting a large number of residents as the entire community uses these amenities

    Thanks in advance!
