What's it like working at hungry jacks?

Is it up to LL to have a working landline installed in Florida, if there are jacks already through out home?

  • In 09/15/2011 my tenant moved in, and had service hooked up. then one month later cancelled and went to satelite. I know recieved a letter she states by law, I have to provide her with a working jack for a land line. called phone company said no law, and to check lease as I already knew she agreed in lease too pay for any and all utilities needed on premises. she claims worker could only get a jimmy rig jack working upstairs. as I ask company they said there were no notations about jacks not working, or them using something that wasnt there equipment, for its against the rules and has to be by there specs. So, I also, checked with consumers center of Florida and found nothing. again goes by lease. I feel, I am not obligated the jacks are there, therefore just need to give written consent for them to put a new one if needed

  • Answer:

    Have the tenant cite the law and then tell them they're out of luck. You have to provide a safe structure with locks, flush toilets, hot water to the sink and bathroom, and repair the heating and cooking if you supply them. Electricity and telephone are optional :-) http://www.lsgmi.org/downloads/Tenant%20Rights%20and%20Responsibilities.pdf

you are not required to provide anything other than right of way access to the telephone company so that they might be able to install and/or repair your tenant/their customers phone service. You are only responsible to provide access to basement, back yard, or wherever the utility wiring comes to the building.. The phone company is only responsible to bring the dial tone to the DEMARC / Network Interface, which is where the line comes to the building. Any wiring beyond the DEMARC is the responsibility of the subscriber to maintain and repair.. Some buildings will provide maintenance or repair of any wiring that was installed inside of the walls by the building or its contractors, but this is not a requirement. I have heard of this being a requirement over seas, but no where here in the US would the home owner or land lord be responsible for maintaining inside wiring for a customers telephone or television/cable wiring.
