Is it a law when you rent out a house in Florida is it a law to have the air working good?
By
I rent a house and they air unit just got replaced but it is still 79 degrees in here and thats hot! We have a new baby in the house and he has heat rash because of the hot. I really dislike the landlord and she takes her time to get things done. I need to know if we can withhold rent because if the air or if she doesn’t get it fixed if we can end our lease early.

I do not know if it is a law but obviously something is wrong with the air and from experience of being in Florida you need a really strong air conditioner to overcome the heat and humidity. If you’ve pleaded with the landlady and done everything you can to get her to fix the situation then yes I would hold rent no matter if it’s a law or not.

There is no law stating that the air conditioning must be working.
You may, however, have some legal protection under your lease:
Hope this helps!
