More details to this question:
My landlord decided to retaliate against me by breaking my lease agreement because I told him that the ac was broken and didn't work. On the 11 of March I told him about the ac and 2 days later the 13, he had someone call me and told me that I had 45 days to move out. I've been living like this with the ac working one day and not working another and I have 2 kids. The house is infested with roaches, the fence broke he never fixed it for more than 5 months now, the other a small dog enters the back while my kids were out in the backyard playing and scared them. I know the requires a landlord to give written notice and 60 days, now I am in a hurry trying to find a place, my kid in school I can't go to far from her school. So that's a bit of what's happening.

Unfortunately, in most everywhere in Florida - A/C is not required by statute as a condition to rent a property. That said a verbal 45 day notice to terminate a tenancy is not proper (has to be in writing) nor is it proper when there is a lease. Same with the fence. There is no 60 day notice in Florida. You may need to retain a tenant lawyer to address this with the LL to make sure you can stay as long as you pay the rent or to negotiate termination of the tenancy so you can move elsewhere. You might want to contact legal aid to see if they will intervene.
