If the item(s) that need fixing is an essential item for living in the rental unit, you have the right to deliver a notice at least seven days before the rent is due, that the item needs to be fixed or you will fix it and offset it from the rent.
The landlord may still evict you, but if the repair was essential you will win. And your landlord will be subject to damages you can claim of up to three months of rent abatement (Florida).

Can a landlord break lease do to short sale?
Landlords give all sorts of crazy reasons for wanting to break leases. This is one of the strangest I have ever heard. A lease is a legal contract. It may contain a clause describing how the landlord can break it. The landlord may have sold the building for a whole lot of money. If he can get you out without having to pay you to break the lease then he gets to keep more money. His short sale does not involve you. He has a different motive. His short sale does not give him the right to break a lease. Your problem is your lease with him.

You have a lease now my wife has passed away can you break lease?
Technically, if you are in a lease then you cannot break it or the landlord can keep your security deposit and last month's rent. He can even sue you for loss of revenue up to the time the apartment is rent it out or the lease has expired, whichever comes first. That is the technical rule. But now here's the compassion issue: if your wife has passed away and there is compelling reason to break the lease, I am sure you can work something out with your landlord in which he can cancel the lease for you. But the landlord is usually not obliged to do this.
