San Antonio, FL asked in Contracts for Florida

Q: I am a college student writing a paper on tort and contract laws.

Hypothetically, a comm. tenant builds kennels and cages in a former storage area of the pet store w/o prior the landlord's knowledge and then complains that the a/c isn't cooling down the area properly (the once storage area). However, the landlord did discover the change midstream and says "Good Luck". The tenant, eventually, stops paying his rent because of the a/c issue. Can you please tell me what law addresses this type of issue and where I can read the information on this for citing purposes? In the information given to me, all I know is that the store owner took over the business after the passing of his father. The information supplied for the paper doesn't say anything about what is or isn't in the lease contract. Without that info, would the contract still be considered valid, etc.? Thank you for reading this and for the possible help.

A: This bizarre request for "legal" assistance by a college student--by another name could be called "cheating"--something that real lawyers would never do--at least not publicly. Go to the library and dig out what you think is an answer.
