Review your lease however, that is something the landlord is usually responsible for.

Re: Eviction for withholding rent
In Florida, responsibility for tree removal usually falls on landlord/owner. Read your lease as to responsibilities of both landlord and tenant. Advise that you always pay rent on time, and deal with landlord in court.
