The enclave, a Gables Residence, charged us over $1,100 for a new carpet.My roommate and i, as the tenants, replied:1. The lease and rental agreements do not define what normal wear and tear is and what community standards are. Those documents do not define requirements for what will be charged and for what reasons.2. On 4.1.2024 a work order was put in to repair the electricity/faulty breaker. The electricity was not working in one bedroom, the living room, and a light in the kitchen. The smoke alarms also stopped working when the electricity went out. The request was not filled until 4.18.2024. Electricity is considered an emergency maintenance request. Gables and The enclave stated they no longer have records of maintenance requests after a tenant moves out which doesnt seem accurate. b. Here are the statutes according to the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Florida Statutes ***** - ******) i. Implied Warranty of Habitability ( *****). ii.Essential Services: ( *****). iii. Repair and Deduct: ( *****). iv.Tenant's Remedies: ( 83.64).c. **************** not being provided in more than half of the house, this would qualify us for a rent abatement for the time the electricity was out. We lost our $750 security deposit and ended up owing $480 to Gables/The enclave. Considering there are no clear requirements for moving out, returning the unit to community standards, not to mention they left us without electricity in half the house, it is only fair that the carpet charge be dropped and they owe us a rent abatement for half a month.
