What is the name of your state? Florida
Renting a house from a private owner. On May 29, sent landlord a "Tenant complaint of landlord's noncompliance of obligations/Notice of Intent to Withhold Rent" by certified mail describing deteriorations of the house. Landlord pick up the notice on June 6. Landlord began addressing some of the issues. Now, June 12, received a notice from landlord: 3 Day notice to Pay Rent or Deliver Possession. given to us pursuant to Florida Statutes Sec. 83.56. There is some "Certificate of Service" with some man's signature, but I don't know if this was a sheriff or just a friend trying to make it look official, as we were not home. Tomorrow was to have been her 7th day to address the issues. Can she really evict us in 3 days? I know that if we do pay her the rent, then every complaint in our letter gets dismissed.
We do want to move out at this point, but we obviously will need a couple of weeks to do so. Are we really liable for rent during the period of our "intent to withhold rent"?
Also, is the landlord of a single family dwelling responsible for rat control in Florida?
