Opinions of a non-Floridian:

Don't credit the tenant. If you do, he'll demand retroactive credits for this that and the other thing. If he gets VERY insistent and sounds like he might move out, maybe credit him a bit to keep him. Or upgrade something in the place to appease him (ceiling fans? new carpeting?). This will increase the appeal/value of your unit too.

Get rid of the property manager. This was a big, inexcusable mistake on the PMs part.

Suggestion for the future: maybe have (or rent) a window or portable AC to give tenants while waiting for the repair. In Mass. we have to give tenant's space heaters while when the furnace does out.

Good suggestion about the portable A/C unit, MassLL. I am thinking of buying one of those new portable A/C units (can cool a house the size of my rentals) to have on standby in case the house a/c units go out during summer. The a/c units currently installed are in good repair but you just never know when something will stop working.

You are the typical slum lord. Just call yourself Oliver Twist. If you cannot afford to be a property mogul don't be one. Fix your crappy places and respect the money you get for it. You act like you have some sense of entitlement; I think you should be barred from ever rentnig anything to anyone.
