Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I am currently a student who lives in an apartment complex off of campus. When signing my lease, I specifically stated no pets in my apartment are acceptable. There is now two dogs inside of my apartment. I notified the apartment complex and no action was done when the first dog was in my apartment asking to be moved. Months later my apartment was infested with fleas and the apartment complex called me to sign a consent form to accept the dog who caused the fleas. Which I did not comply and sign. There is now a new dog in my apartment and I am being very disturbed by the crying when the animal is left alone. Is this a reasonable way to break my lease by the complex and roommates violating my lease agreement to no pets?

Your lease agreement controls. The likelihood is you wont be able to break your lease for the violations of your own leasemates. Have the lease reviewed by an attorney.
