    Question Property Manager Won't Do Her Job

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

    I have been living in my place for 3 yrs. Up until a yr ago, I really enjoyed living here. That was when the landlord moved out of state and a property manager took over. Right around the same time, I got a huge hole in my living room floor beside the air register, hole in my ceiling, bathroom wall flimsy with mold (you can move the wall back and forth). She assured me things would be taken care. After 3 mo. She she put the blame on a lazy maintenance man. Another 3 mo. later, still nothing, and by this time, I needed new air registers(where the air blows out throughout the home)The ones we had were old, rusty, and eventually all the grooves fell out, so now we have 8in by 4in holes in our main walkways. again she blamed it on him. Then our neighbors moved out, and now for 4mo I have had 2 mattresses, a couch, and other trash sitting in my backyard.
    (This is only a sampling of the problems)

    It has been a year and none of these have been attempted to be fixed.


    I am a single mother on disability. I can not afford to fix these things myself, nor am I physically capable.

    I have never missed or been late with my rent.
    In the year's time, I have been extremely patient.
    I asked her for the owners # 3 mo ago, and she kept making excuses, finally I found his # on my own and spoke to him. He said he was not aware of any problems. He would talk to her.

    I have not heard back from him.

    I can not afford to move. How do I go about getting things done, without causing problems for my kids and I?

    I suggest reading this guide on "living in a habitable home" and this guide on when you can safely withhold your rent (and the steps you must take to do so properly).
