I moved into an apartment 3/31/2007 only to find that it has a serious roach problem. I told management that had I known in advance of this problem I would have never signed a lease with them. I have given them my 30 day notice and am wondering if there is reasonable cause that would help me to avoid paying the $800.00 to get out of my lease. I live in Florida and according to the statute, the landlord is supposed to ensure that the place rented is pest free. They have a company that supposedly sprays ONCE a week and it doesn't seem to be working when they are still crawling around. I haven't upacked any of my kitchen items and have been eating out since the day I moved in. It is truly disgusting to think about something crawling on my eating utensils or anything. Do I have any right to not having to pay the buy out amount?
