Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
Throughout my lease me and my land lord have not seen eye to eye because he has not taken care of this property. He neglected to fix the water and i have shown him pictures of the mildew. The next month he let a roach infestation gone on for a total of three months without him answering my phone calls or fixing the problem. He never called or answered until the rent was late.I told him each time i would withold the rent until he fixed the problems. In each situation once he got the stuff togeather i paid him rent. Each time after i paid him he told me he understood and said the late fee was waived. The last time we spoke on the phone i was once again reassured when he was paid his rent i would be fine. today i recieved a notice that he is trying to get me for late fees for 5 months. My lease ends this month(september). which is in 2 days. is this legal?

I doubt he agrees and you have nothing in writing.
