My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
Hi,
I rent my apartment from a private owner who has the property managed by ReMax. My refrigerator makes an extremely annoying noise that interferes with my sleep and general quality of life. I cant keep the freezer turned on a high enough temperature to store meat in it or else it makes the noise louder and more constant. A repairman came two weeks ago and confirmed that there is indeed something wrong with the fridge and it needs to be repaired. However, the ReMax agent keeps stalling, saying that the owner hasn't gotten back to her regarding authorizing the repairs. At this point, I'm seriously considering just moving out (I've lived there about two months).
How can I force her to do the repairs and are there any provisions for getting my security deposit back if she does not do the repair in a timely manner and I break the lease to move out?
Thank you - this has been going on for two months and I am really starting to get quite fed up.
