Believe it or not, here in Florida, tenants are not entitled to working air conditioner in their leased residences. As if that isn't enough, mold and leaks aren't legitimate excuses to exit a lease. Inside some apartments, it can reach in excess of 90 degrees. We hear horror stories in the news of people found dead in apartments with soaring temperatures--so what gives?
Apparently, the law in Florida requires landlords to provide heating in the wintertime, but no requirements for cooling in the summertime. When temps easily hit 100 degrees, it's quite a confusing law. Basically, what this teaches tenants (whether its intended to or not) is that you should read your lease with a fine tooth comb and be sure any amenities, such as ac, are clearly spelled out and provided to you.
The Miami air conditioning team want to be sure you are happy with your living arrangements and also living in comfortable temperatures. Be sure to take the necessary steps and protect yourself--don't trust that someone will fix a broken ac out of the goodness of their hearts.
