Landlords are required to give tenants a minimum of 12 hours notice should they wish to enter the property. If this notice is not given and the situation is not an emergency, then the tenant may be allowed to refuse entry.

Tenants must know where their security deposit is being held and whether or not an agent is allowed to represent the landlord. There are also several other disclosures that involve the safety of the home in regards to fire protection, radon and carbon monoxide.

Landlords may charge any amount for their security deposit. Upon move-out, tenants are entitled to receive the reminder of their deposit within one month. If the entire deposit must be used to repair a property, then the landlord must notify the tenant of this fact within 1 month time period.

If there are repair issues that are affecting the habitability of a rental unit, then there are circumstances where the tenant may be able to withhold rent until the repairs are made.

Tenants are allotted three days to pay their rent should it be over due. If those three days expire without a payment, then landlords are allowed to begin the eviction process. After filing the eviction notice, however, the tenant may still be able to cancel the notice with payment.

In Florida, it’s illegal for landlords to retaliate against tenants who’ve exercised these legal rights:

– Notified the landlord about the rental unit’s unsafe or illegal living conditions.
– Notified a government agency about the rental unit’s unsafe or illegal living conditions.
– Joined or organized a tenant union to express your thoughts collectively.

It looks like a clean and nice place where you rented here.
