Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

eviction of Apartment

My son has been issued an eviction notice. They are to be out of the apt. complex in 5 days. There are also repair issues that have not been met. They would like to stay. Can they make the payment for the month even with repairs still pending, and can the landlord allow them to stay even if the eviction notice has been filed in the clerks office? There have been many conflicting answers with the property manager. Is a plumbing problem, stopped up bathtub and a kitchen sink that fills up when water is draining in the bath, a reason to withhold the rent? Thank you
