Argh, the summer in South Florida is brutal along with the humidity.

We moved to a new house in March of this year. The house looked beautiful and well taken care of since we are renting it is sooo important.

Well, the owners neglected to tell us that the A/C unit is too small for the house. The spent a fortune on remodels like granite counters, fancy schmancy lighting and other such frivolous stuff. BUT they didn't update the a/c?!!

Idiots. They are in financial trouble and refuse to make any repairs that aren't considered "material defects" to the house.

I can't get the temp below 80 in the house which is not good enough to control my symptoms. I have my suspicions that this sustained exposure to the heat has contributed to my latest relapse.

I contacted an attorney and we have no recourse . Apparently in Florida the law requires landlords to provide proper heating to a house but not air conditioning. Crazy, huh?

Sorry for the hijack but I thought it might be good for renters with MS to know this stuff.

Try to keep cool everyone .
