We rented a house in Putnam County Florida. It's an older house, and I think the landlord we are renting from just bought it. The reason I think that is that there are SO MANY problems with it. They didn't inform us the water heater and furnace are gas. So, we had no hot water until we got the gas company out. Who told us the furnace has a leak and cannot be hooked up. That was almost two weeks ago. They have brought us a space heater, which heats our bedroom reasonably well, and we have the kids sleeping on the floor. The property mgr on Monday claimed that the part was ordered for it, but today claims that the a/c company doesn't recognize the model of furnace, since it is so old and it's hard to find parts for. I know it's part of the statutes that a house must have heat, but does the fireplace count? And does supplying a space heater get them off the hook, also? What sort of recourse do we have if they don't handle this any faster? How much time is "reasonable"?
Is it legal to rent a house with a broken furnace in Florida?
I'm sorry to hear all this anguish and problems. You can call your local code and zoning and they will direct you to the right people to talk to.
