That sucks. The same thing happened to my friend last year. A pipe burst in the apartment above hers. She had almost a foot of water in her apartment. Water was pouring out her front door!
The apartment complex was so greedy that they said her apartment was still livable. I visited her place and there was mildew all over her walls. Plus it smelled.
It sounds like your apartment management is doing what they can for now. If repainting the walls and drying the carpet solves the problem, they're off the hook. But if you can prove that there's mold and your apartment management won't do anything to solve the problem, you'll need to call a lawyer.
My friend had her attorney write a letter. Her apartment complex let her out of her lease. Luckily she had renters insurance so she was able to get some money to buy a new couch, dining room table and TV stand since the floor ruined her old furniture.
Funny enough, my friend lives in Orlando as well. I wonder if it's the same apartment complex.
