Anonymous4 views3 answers
I am living in a townhouse and cannot be as much as a day late with rent, or, I have to pay late fees. The unit have a huge rat problem and the landlord is blaming the homeowner association to fix the problem and the homeowners association saying is the landlord duty to fix his unit. I'm tired of this back and forth none sense that's is none effective. I need an immediate solution because I have children that have gotten sick because of this. Also, I'm tired of buy rat traps and bates. I have rats in the entire unit and as fast as I close 1 hold another opens. All the landlord wants is rent.
You have several options but must first notify the landlord pursuant to Florida statutes. The first consult is free and can guide you on the action to take
Have your lease reviewed by an attorney as soon as possible. If pest control is a duty of the landlord in your lease agreement, the infestation problem you are having is grounds for termination of the lease.
Let me help to equip you for a meaningful meeting with a lawyer in FL. Search the topic of Warranty of Habitability. You will find a wealth of information that will shorten the visit with the lawyer.
