Legal Requirements

Florida law does not require that landlords have heating systems installed in their properties. However, heating systems that are installed in rental properties must function properly. If they do not, the tenant can take the following steps:

• Before doing anything, it is advisable that the tenant gives the landlord a letter of non-compliance that states the problem, provides details, and refers to any laws or codes that are being violated. The letter should also notify the landlord that he or she has seven days to fix the problem before further action will be taken.
• The tenant can withhold rent until the problem is solved. For more information about how to do this legally, contact the Florida Division of Consumer Affairs at 1-800-HELP-FLA.
• The tenant can break the lease and move out.
