Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I am a realtor, my client bought a property recently and prior to closing the water heater in the premises broke, there was and addendum between buyer and seller that seller shall replace water heater on timely basis, it took around 1 month to change water heater but during the installation Sellers contractor took air conditioning unit out and left it in the middle of the room, plus took washer and dryer out and left them standing at the room, and also broke the dry wall, saying it was mold there. But the addendum just asked the Seller to replace water heater and nothing else, it took Seller around 2 month all together to replace the heater and eliminate the damage his contractor did to the premises, which made it completely unlivable and unusable. my client filed a complained to the court asking the seller to reimburse 2 month of rent (as unit was supposed to be rented and tenant left due to the circumstances listed above). Are there enough grounds to ask for reimbursement as the agreement set in addendum was not performed properly on timely basis?

Without reading the original agreements, no one can answer properly but, it would appear the seller complied with the limited addendum.
