Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

landlord harassment

I am in the military and my landlord has threatened to contact my chain of command over a dispute we are having. It is not concerning unpaid rent, but upkeep of the private residence I live in. The landlord thinks there is too much wear and tear on the carpet. As I have said he has threatened to contact my chain of command, is there anything that could protect me if he does contact them?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

Unfortunately, this is not a situation that was contemplated by Florida law which is silent on this matter. It is between you and the landlord.
