Q: Can my landlord refuse to fix my AC if im a renter on a verbal month to month lease? I live in Miami, FL
What am I legally bound to if I move out because he hasn't fixed it and do I have to pay my rent if he hasn't fixed it?
A: Your landlord is not required by law to furnish A/C. If you had a lease that required him to do so, then he would be. But you don't. You are required to pay your rent whether he fixes the A/C or not. Since you are on a month to month, you can give him 15 days written notice that you are leaving at the end of the month, and then you have to leave.
Bruce Alexander Minnick agrees with this answer
A: Yes; and your landlord can--will--evict you at the end of the month if you refuse to pay rent.
