Noisy Tenant
My neighbor plays his music extremly loud. Another neighbor besides myself has complained to the rental office of my apartment complex. The office promised to write the tenant a letter informing him to lower the music. I don't think they composed that letter.
What right(s) do I have under Florida Law, if any, concerning this annoying matter? The lease I signed promised me a quite dwelling, however, that is not occurring

Re: Noisy Tenant
When a landlord fails to deliver what is promised, a tenant has a right to mail a notice to the landlord of his/her intention to withhold rent. Thereafter, the tenant may begin depositing the rent into the Court Registry. This will definitely get a reaction from the landlord. This is generally a drastic step but you could always just send the notice and see if that gets the desired reaction.
Feel free to contact me if you should have any further questions.
