I am currently renting an apartment in Florida. My lease ends in the beginning of July, but I want to break my lease due to infestation of bed-bugs. The apartment complex paid to have the place exterminated; in which I moved out for three weeks (still paying full amount rent, for the month) the pest control did all they could, but I have noticed there are still bed-bugs in my apartment. I am wanting to break my lease and move elsewhere because it is costing me too much money; for instance, I had to throw my $1000 bed out and now I am having to throw my couch out . I would simply like to leave this apartment and get my security deposit back. Is there a law or any regulation on how I can go about breaking my lease and getting my security deposit back?
