FAQs
Navigating the complexities of landlord-tenant relationships can be challenging. Whether you're dealing with maintenance issues, disputes over rent, or questions about your rights, it's important to have clear answers. Below are some common questions tenants have, along with practical advice to help you protect your rights and ensure a fair rental experience.
-
What should I do if my landlord refuses to make necessary repairs?
If your landlord is refusing to make necessary repairs that impact your health or safety, it’s important to take action. Document the issues with photos, videos, and written communication with your landlord. If the landlord continues to ignore the problem, you may have legal grounds to withhold rent or take other actions. Contact us at Korte and Associates to discuss your options and protect your rights.
-
Can my landlord increase the rent without notice?
In Florida, a landlord can increase the rent, but they must provide notice as specified in your lease agreement. Typically, for month-to-month leases, at least 15 days' notice is required. For longer-term leases, the notice period may vary. If you believe your landlord is attempting an unlawful rent increase, reach out to us for advice on how to proceed.
-
What are my rights if my landlord enters my rental unit without permission?
Florida law requires landlords to provide reasonable notice before entering your rental unit, typically 12 hours unless it’s an emergency. If your landlord is entering without notice or permission, they may be violating your rights to privacy. Contact Korte and Associates to discuss potential legal actions you can take to protect your rights.
