Renter's Rights

TENANTS HAVE RIGHTS

Just as tenants have responsibilities under Florida law and through lease agreements—including paying rent, keeping the unit clean and in working order, and not disturbing the peace—landlords have certain requirements and restrictions as well, such as providing a clean and safe property by maintaining the major systems and the building structure.
