Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
Our AC has been out since Thursday. I notified our landlord that day. She sent her guy out the next day who did nothing saying he needed to contact landlord. Since then she says he hasn't called and he says he hasn't heard from him yet whenever I contact either one they both pick up or text right back. How long does my family of 5 have to live like this before she is forced to fix it? Is there anything we can do?

You can follow the statute and withhold rental and pay for the repairs. I suggest you write the landlord and point out the property is uninhabitable in this condition
