In a compelling legal battle unfolding in Palm Beach County, Florida, a tenant has taken decisive action against her landlords over alleged negligence and unlawful conduct. Musa Fyffe, the plaintiff, filed a complaint on November 11, 2025, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit against 606 North LLC and several associated individuals and entities. The case accuses the defendants of multiple violations including negligence, premises liability, unlawful utility termination, and retaliation.
The lawsuit centers around a series of events that began when Fyffe leased a residential property at 606 2nd Avenue North in Lake Worth Beach on February 20, 2025. According to the complaint, the defendants—comprising 606 North LLC, Karina Lurtz, Hans Wittig, Peter Lurtz, Mark Lurtz, and Lakeside Management LLC—were responsible for maintaining the property. However, they allegedly failed to uphold their duties by allowing unsafe conditions to persist and unlawfully terminating utilities amid an internal ownership dispute.
Fyffe claims that on April 4, 2025, without any lawful notice or court order—a violation of Florida Statute § 83.67—the electricity was shut off at her residence. This abrupt termination forced her into an unsafe garage to retrieve a flashlight where she sustained serious injuries due to falling items from unstable shelving. These injuries included trauma to her back and neck with disc herniations at L4-L5 and L5-S1 as well as an elbow injury. Her medical expenses have already exceeded $96,000 with future costs anticipated.
The complaint further alleges that after Fyffe reported these issues and sought redress through insurance claims—which were denied—the defendants retaliated by placing threatening “No Trespassing” signs near her home. Such actions are claimed to have caused emotional distress and are seen as statutory retaliation under Fla. Stat. § 83.64.
Fyffe is seeking compensatory damages exceeding $1 million for past and future medical expenses along with punitive damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, housing instability due to credit harm from the utility dispute among other grievances. She argues that the defendants’ actions were willful and reckless prioritizing family disputes over tenant safety.
