Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Rental House

We have been renting this house for about 3-4years. we have been having problems with the AC for about a year. the rental agency knows what the problem is now and won't fix it they keep giving us the run around. Can we do anything legal againts the rental agency. Please advice. We have been sweating when its hot and cold when it gets cold.

Re: Rental House

Send a certified letter to the rental agency giving them seven days to correct the problem. Tell them in the letter that, if the problem is not corrected within seven days after they receive the letter (give them five days to receive the letter), you will hire an AC repair company to complete the repair and deduct the cost from the next rent.

You can find samples of these types of letters on the web. make sure you use a sample specifically for Florida.
