I live in Tampa, FL. My apartment roof started leaking sometime over the night of the 20th, into the morning of the 21st. I informed the office of this at 9:45am on the morning of the 21st. They told me over the phone that they would try and have some one come fix it before it started to rain again. It did not rain again the whole day. 4pm rolled around, and no one had come to fix the roof. We are forcasted to have thunderstorms all the rest of the week. When the roof is leaking during a rain storm, my ceiling becomes soggy and soft, and I fear it will collapse. According to landlord tenant laws in Florida, they are required to fix this, but it does not say what time frame they are required to fix it in. How long should I wait before pursuing legal action and going through the steps to legally with hold my rent from them?
