Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Loud Music in Complex

My Lanlord just gave me a letter saying that I violated the lease and disturbed my neighbors with loud music until 3am and if I dont behave, in 7 days of the notice, I need to vacate to premises.

I am not the one making this kind of noise and the neighbors are mistaken with my apartment number. Because the apartment walls are so thin, we can hear almost everything. I have been hearing the loud music too but I haven't complain. The Landord made this acusation and it made me real nervous because I don't want them to terminate my tenancy because of this misunderstanding. What can i do if this noise keep going and they keep acusing me? What can I do before this could happen?

Make sure to document in writing that the noise is coming from another apt. unit. Send the landlord a letter and keep a copy for yourself.

Simple, tell the landlord it's not coming from your apartment. If you know where it is coming from then tell the landlord.

Go to the neighbor and the landlord and let them know the facts. You'll need to let the know who is making the noise.
