Temporary leaving my rent apartment for termite fumigation?

Question

Hi there, my landlord sent me a letter stating that I have to leave the apartment for three days because they found termites on the condo. I asked her about the temporary place to stay and she just said that I should look for a place to stay for my own.
My question: is it that legal, doesn’t she have to provide a temporary place for me?
Please I need some advice, and if there’s any article or something that talk about please let me know. But the way I live in Miami, Fl.

Answer 1

In nearly all cases it is legal. The landlord does NOT have to find you a place OR pay for alternate accommodations. You do not have to pay rent for the time that the property is uninhabitable though, so just dock next month's rent check how ever many days rent would be due for the time you are put out.

If you have renter's insurance that may cover your costs but if you don't the landlord is NOT required to compensate you other than the amount of rent that would be due unless your lease states otherwise. That would be very unusual but read your lease to be sure.

Answer 3

Technically yes she should provide you with temporary accommodations but you need to find out what the rules for this are in your state before you let her fumigate termite removal can take longer than three days.

Answer 4

If you have to move out for 3 days. They have to make good on the expense of your displacement. She will try and avoid you but save the receipts and deduct the spense from the rent and give them copies of the receipts. You can add food because you cannot cook. But don't run up the bill.
Before you take it off the rent --- fact to face ask them who is going to pay for my displacement. If they won't admit responsiblity then tell then you will take it off next rent payment.
