My landlord refuses to make repairs to my apartment or house, what can I do?

Depending on the types of deficiencies, the Code Compliance Division may be able to help. Please note, however, that neither the Code Compliance Division nor the City of Lake Wales have the authority to intervene in a landlord/tenant dispute. Code Compliance Officers will work with both parties to correct all violations of the City's Code of Ordinances.
