Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I just moved into a mobile home a week ago and found out that central a/c that I was told came with the location doesnt work. They sent someone out to fix it after a million phone calls. my daughter has a breathing condition and cannot be overheated. Well the A/C guy told the landlord that the a/c unit is to small for the home so its not going to cool it down. Will this landlord brings 2 SMALL window units that still doesnt help cool the home. I refused to move into a home without central air and here I am. I need to move but do I have legal rights to get my deposit back. And keep in mine there are other repairs he has yet to do that was suppose to be done before I moved in and they are giving me excuses.

Depends on what your lease states. If everything was verbal, not much leg to stand on. If you have a lease and repairs were to be done, then request they be done within 10 days or you will vacate the home and sue for the deposit.
