i had recently asked landlord to fix things in my rental and for extermination he only exterminated for 3 weeks,we still have a major problem and he wouldnt continue.So we hired a lawyer they served him with a 7 day notice to do repairs and extermination.My lawyer advised me to withold rent until it was done.He sends me a 3 day pay or leave notice stating that we broke the lease because some mini blinds were messed up which has been replaced.He never gave us a warning verbally or in writting until he recieved the letter of fixing things or we withold rent.Could this be constued as retalitory eviction?And if so what can i do to stop it or will it hold up in court?If its proven hes evicting us in retaliation then what happens?I live in florida and have been going back and forth with him for 6 months or so now but i got the notice a couple days ago.
