My landlord entered my apartment on on Friday October 16 "claiming" an emergency. Then took pictures of my entire apartment. She left a note saying I had to (it was messy and I smoked. I did not know it was in the lease) and return the property to the condition she rented it to me in. The letter also states she was coming to inspect on Sunday October 18. I did not let her in, mostly because she has been very intrusive since I moved here and I wanted legal advice. She left a notice titled "7 days to cure" which states I must move in 7 days. I filed my answer with the county clerk. The hearing was today. I stated in court I would not smoke in the apartment anymore. The judge ruled in her favor reason being that my smoking in the apartment was incurable. How can this happen? I did not cause willful destruction or damage to the rental unit or repeatedly violate the lease after being told to fix the violation as it states in the florida statute. I really do not want this on my record and it feels unjustifiable. Please help!
