What repairs can the tenant sue me
Hey folks,
So i own a property in florida and had a tenant move in recently. Since she moved in she asked me for few repairs and i did those. And then it is more and more. None of these repairs are related to saftey . For eg she says ceiling above the garage has a crack . As a owner i decide if ceiling above my garage should be fixed or not. Then even before she paid me rent for 2nd month she comes to me and says house has all these problems so lower my rent by 800$. I have a feeling she is just trying to force me to lower the rent.
So my question is to what extent landlord is liable to repair.What point can some one go to court.

Tell her if she's not happy with the house, she can move out either April 30 or May 31 and give her a week to make her decision. Remind her she toured the home before she rented it and nothing has changed since she viewed it.
