I currently rent a home in Florida. I began renting in October of 2000. Since that time, there have been many, many repairs needed to be made. According to my lease, LL is responsible for repairs. They have not made any repairs. These are serious items that need to be fixed. Such as leaking windows and ceilings, master bath shower pan damaged and has completely rotted out the sub flooring (second floor), etc. I have followed the Florida state law in regard to making the landlord fix these items. However, I can not use the repair and deduct law because the state has a set limit in the amount you can deduct. I am using a law that says since these repairs are not made, and the property could be deemed unhabitable, I can now terminate the lease and move out. I have full documentation of letters sent CRR, phone calls, photo's, and contractors bids to make repairs.
I have notified my LL I am moving out the end of this month and I expect a full return of my deposit. My question is has anybody gone through something similar to this before? I have done everything I can and followed the law to the dot on the "i". I want to know if anybody who has done this before, have any surprises popped up? Has anybody gone to court over this before and had a judge say the tenant was wrong and if so, why they were wrong? Please let me know. I am trying to find out what to expect from this point. I am actually moving out this weekend and staying with my in-laws until our new rental property in ready on April 1. I told my landlord he would have full posession returned to him no later than March 31. Can anybody shed any light or help as to what to expect or what to prepare for from here? Thanks in advance
