Florida Property Issue System

Property Issue Documentation & Resolution System

This version includes: date auto-population + editable date fields, tracking URL helper, and per-room photo/video evidence uploads (15MB per file).

Step 1: What Type of Issue Are You Documenting?

IMPORTANT — Not for natural disasters / casualty events

This tool is for landlord repair/noncompliance issues (repairs, leaks, broken appliances, HVAC failures, electrical/plumbing problems). Florida’s repair duties are generally addressed under Fla. Stat. § 83.51, and the tenant’s 7-day notice remedy is in Fla. Stat. § 83.56(1).

If this was caused by hurricane/flood/fire or other casualty damage, use a casualty tool (Fla. Stat. § 83.63).

Routine Maintenance Request

Use this for non-emergency repairs and minor safety fixes. It helps you create a clear, dated documentation trail to send to the landlord/property manager.

  • Minor plumbing leaks, slow drains, running toilet
  • Appliance problems (fridge not cooling, stove not working)
  • Small electrical issues (outlet not working, flickering light)
  • Pest sightings, small exterior/trim repairs
Why choose this: You want repairs scheduled and documented without framing the issue as a material noncompliance notice.

Habitability / Material Noncompliance

Use this when health/safety or essential services are affected. It organizes your timeline, affected areas, and evidence so you can give the proper notice if needed.

  • No electricity/water, sewage backup, gas leak odor
  • Unsafe wiring/exposed conductors, blocked egress
  • Active roof leak/water intrusion, severe mold
  • Broken exterior locks/windows, missing smoke/CO detectors
Why choose this: You need a serious-condition record (photos + dates + rooms) and an organized notice timeline.

Step 5: Evidence & Documentation

Upload guidance: Max 15 MB per file. Photos and videos only. Do not upload illegal content or adult material. By adding evidence, you certify uploads are lawful and appropriate.

Each issue you selected in Step 3 gets its own section. Add up to 4 files per Issue + Room. Files and notes save automatically.

Advanced: manual entry & evidence summaries
Optional. If you only have one incident/issue, use “Quick Add Evidence by Issue” above.
