Can a Tenant Break a Lease Because of Mold?
Tenants across Florida ask whether mold in a rental gives them the right to break the lease. Understand the landlord's duty to maintain the premises under Florida Statute 83.51, the seven-day written notice Section 83.56 requires before a tenant can terminate, and why that notice has to reach the address named in the lease. Know what the statute expects before rent is withheld, and what it means for your security deposit.
