Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
My landlord is notorious for not fixing issues with the house. Took 2 years to get the holes in the roof fixed. Now there is a pipe that has burst under the house. I would like to know what my rights are and what he is required to do.

Under certain circumstances, you can withhold rent. However, you should consult with an attorney before taking such drastic action. You may be required to pay all or a portion of the rent upon repair.
