Knowledge Is Key To Buying and Selling Real Estate By Attorney Miriam L. Sumpter Richard
TENANTS RIGHTS. Tenant and Landlord Law does not allow a landlord to force a tenant out by shutting off utilities, interrupting service, changing locks or using other methods to deny access to the tenant. The landlord cannot remove outside doors, roof or windows in order to force the tenant out, for nonpayment of rent. If the landlord violates the tenant’s rights, the tenant has the right to sue for actual damages or three months rents, whichever is greater. The landlord must provide heaters, water supply and proper plumbing and electrical fittings. According to the 2005 landlord/tenant law as spelled out in the Florida Statutes, the landlord shall not abuse the rights of the tenant.
