Is it against the Florida laws to live in a rental property without water?

Why exactly are you asking?

[AK lawyer]

It's not prohibited for a tenant not to have running water. However, if it a multiple-unit building, the landlord has the duty to provide it:

"83.51. Landlord's obligation to maintain premises
(1) The landlord at all times during the tenancy shall:
...
(a) Comply with the requirements of applicable building, housing, and health codes; ...
...
(2)(a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, in addition to the requirements of subsection (1), the landlord of a dwelling unit other than a single-family home or duplex shall, at all times during the tenancy, make reasonable provisions for:
...
5. Functioning facilities for heat during winter, running water, and hot water.
..."

You would have to check you local codes to see if running water is required in single family residences.

What are the adults in your house doing about it?
Is this a place that was rented without any running water, or a place in which the water isn't working at the moment, such as a well pump?
(I have a feeling that at your age, you don't know the answer about electrical things having to do with water.)

I give up: What's OP's age and how do you know?

And forget the answer. What's the question?

OP managed to delete her whole response to your first response, saying that she is only 10 years old and can't do what you said.

The 10 yr old was a responder, not the OP.

If this is a concern go to the local housing dept.
