Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
In a condo matter when the main swer line backflows constantly into a condo unit and the condo board is reluctant to fix the problem and yet acknowledges responsibility but refuses in practice to pay and the unit is esstentially unliabe -is this constructive eviction of a unit owner? If so, what type of damages in such a scenario? How to approach an attorney for the best outcome, etc.?

Provide the landlord written notice of the problem and your request to have him fix it. The landlord has certain responsibilities to maintain the rental unit. See Florida Statutes Section 83.51(1)(a)(b) or this site for more information: http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html
