Your lease agreement controls. You need to have it reviewed. The fact that there have been many problems is probably not sufficient. NO A/C in S. Florida may give you a right based on the fact that the unit is uninhabitable. You need to seek some legal guidance.

I would think FS 83.56 controls this situation. Good luck.
