• Security deposit recovery, contesting improper landlord deduction claims and enforcing the statutory thirty-day notice rule.
• Habitability and repair disputes regarding toxic mold, broken air conditioning, plumbing failures, and structural defects.
• Unlawful lockout actions and illegal utility shutoffs under Florida Statute 83.67, securing statutory civil damages.
• Early lease termination counseling and mutual lease cancellation negotiations to protect tenant credit and avoid penalties.
