Utility details & contacts
What it is: A request for a prorated rent reduction/credit from your landlord or property manager when extended power outages made the unit uninhabitable under essential-services / warranty-of-habitability rules.
Who pays/responds: Your landlord or property manager — not the utility company. Utilities do not issue rent credits or payments.
What it’s based on: Florida PSC county-level outage snapshots (about every 3 hours). Each positive snapshot counts as 3 hours. A day is capped at 18 hours. You select only the days that actually affected you within your occupancy window.
Utility verification: In addition to PSC snapshots, we send a separate verification request to your utility provider to confirm outage dates/times for your service address. This is for evidence only — not for payment.
Baby steps:
- Enter your tenant and landlord/property-manager details.
- Click Load PSC snapshots and review outage days for your county.
- Select the days that impacted you (you control what to claim).
- Provide monthly rent and occupancy dates (used only to estimate a prorated credit).
- Optional: add a signature, then continue — we generate your packet.
- We send two items: (a) your rent-abatement packet to the landlord/property manager, and (b) a verification letter to your utility to confirm outage days at your address (no payment requested from the utility).
Monthly rent & occupancy dates
We never bill based on your rent. Rent is used only to estimate a reasonable daily credit for verified outage days (you can adjust those assignments in Step 3). To keep claims timely and defensible, we cap the look-back at the most recent five years minus 30 days. The 30-day buffer preserves time for mailing and processing so you don’t risk falling outside statute-of-limitations windows. Example for today: eligible service dates are (today − 5y + 30d) → today. This tool is informational and not legal advice.
