Does not matter if the mold was non-hazardous. There was mold and mildew found by the landlords remedial company.

The law requires written notice of termination which the tenant did not provide. Again, the tenants attorney sent the written notice!!!!

It seems the tenant is the only one following the law as the landlord hasn't a clue what he needs to do.

The landlord failed to enter in a timely fashion, all he did for three weeks is try to set up some time with the tenant. The landlord had legal remedies to enter such as eviction or issuing a notice to cure.

You have no idea what the tenants would claim??? Such nonsense, saying you know the tenants motives.

You can just picture the judge asking the landlord why its the tenants fault...the landlord says because they never ran the AC or the ceiling fans...the judge says..landlord, how do you know? by your own accord, you could not enter the rental, so how do you know if the AC and fans were not running beforehand?

The landlord received proper notice under Florida law and the landlord failed to repair within that time limit set by law. The tenant exercised their right to move and did so. And yes, proper notice was given by the tenants attorney!!!! Guess the attorney is uneducated also?

The best thing is to have both attorneys work out a settlement. The landlords action will only result in unnessasary expense and time if he does not do so.

And once again, the tenants did give proper notice through their attorney which the landlord stated he received!!!!!

Think anonymous must be the non-compliant tenant unable to read and understand the requirement or difference between a written notice to vacate versus a written notice to cure. The tenants moved within three days of their attorney's written notice to the landlord. The tenants were not in compliance with their own attorney's notice to cure. The non-hazardous mold due to the tenants negligence is cured -- the non-hazardous mold condition could not have been too damaging. The landlord has a new tenant and continues to operate the premises without rent interruption.

You can twist and make up anything you wish. You seem to dismiss or over look facts. Attorney's do not write notices to cure, where did you pull that out of the air? Just like you said the tenants never gave notice either? The landlord should ignore the tenants attorney? Does not matter if mold is hazzardous or not and you do not know if the cause is by tenant or not. No Proof!!! "the non-hazardous mold condition could not have been too damaging"...So now you are saying that it was damaging to some degree? "The landlord has a new tenant and continues to operate the premises without rent interruption."...Still, you do not know if this new tenant will have mold or mildew problems too! Nor do you know if the problem was fixed properly or not. As to your... "unable to read and understand the requirement or difference between a written notice to vacate versus a written notice to cure." Neither of these notices where send by the landlord. So again you are making up things that never existed!!!!!! The landlord never issued a 'notice to vacate' to tenant, nor was a 'notice to cure' issued either! You are the one who seems to be unabled to read and understand. You just make things up that has nothing to do with what was said. "Think anonymous must be the non-compliant tenant".....Maybe you should just stop thinking or use a little common sense and look at the facts, not what you make up!!!

News Flash for you bozos. Mold is rarely hazerdous or harmful to anyone. Look it up. Mold and mildew are also common in pretty much every bathroom. Look it up. Because there is a little mold it doesn't not give the tenants a right to move.
