Florida’s Third District Court of Appeal on Wednesday affirmed a lower court ruling in favor of a homeowner and rejected the arguments made by the City of Miami Beach in a dispute over a short-term rental.

The property was effectively shut down because it became inhabitable without those water and sewer services.
