My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
I moved into my new apartment in September. I am renting from my Mother-in-Law. She owns the apartment unit and it is completely paid off. When we moved in, the apartment management company left us a notice stating that we needed to pay for a background check to be able to live in that apartment. First off, is this even legal when I am not renting from this company? In the end, I payed to have the back ground check done sometime in October. The security office that they would with is only open Monday through Friday from 9 AM - 3 PM. They would not accept any of my information via email. I would have to miss hours at work to be able to complete the background check. Due to this it took sometime to go to their office. Now the management company has fined me a total of $250.00 for the delay of getting the background check. I do not think it is fair that I have to pay this fine. What can I do?
