Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Lease Binding for Landlord and Tenant

The lease I signed a few months ago for an apartment has a very broad line regarding noise and that it is not permitted at any time. I have complained about my apartment for the last few months and today they presented a letter to each tenant in my building asking them to not play LOUD music after 10pm.

Is the landlord responsible to maintain a quiet place for me to live that meets the guidelines in the lease or is it only binding against me?

I am trying to get out of this lease and move to a house. Any help and direction for which to break a lease for noise will be appreciated.

Re: Lease Binding for Landlord and Tenant

If the landlord fails to provide an apartment that is habitable, then you may have a basis for terminating the lease. Based on the information you provided, it appears the landlord is making good faith efforts to resolve the issue. Without reading the lease and learning more details regarding your particular situation, I cannot give you any other meaningful advice. Good luck.
