Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
in small claimes court in Fl. I am sueing a person for multible damages question is he smoked in my condo for 4 months and the lease he signed has a no smoking policy as it is in a smoke free building. If I repaint the entire inside of the condo to get rid of the nasty smoke smell would this be called a betterment.

Cleaning above and beyond normal due to smoke in violation of lease can be considered reimbursable. Painting of an apartment that potentially needed to be painted anyway, likely cannot. Not enough facts to actually answer your inquiry.
