Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

repairs

My lease expired last year and my landlord never asked me to sign a new one. I live month to month now. My toilet is not working and my landlord says I am responsible to fix it. I say if I didn't do anything out of the ordinary or put anything in it I wasn't supposed, to than how am I responsible. I don't have the money to make repairs and I don't think I should have to. What are my rights in this matter?

This is the same question that I just answered. You must read the terms of the written lease agreement which is now extended on a month to month basis.
