I'm assuming that the unit is on and running in the inside and outside of the condo and it's blowing air out of the vents. If not, call an AC contractor right away.

If my assumption is correct, we can troubleshoot it.

First, get something like this. You need to know what the actual temperature is in your rooms away from the vents and, since it's Florida, the humidity.

AC is a closed system, meaning that it's circulating and cooling air from inside your house, because bringing in outside air would be incredibly inefficient. If everything's working right, you should be able to hold almost whatever temp you want and you should show 60% humidity or less.

Make sure that the temperature the thermostat thinks it is is accurate. I've seen some that are off by up to 3 degrees, so you think you're setting it for 75 and it's really set for 78 and you're wondering why you're too warm...
If your new thermometer/hygrometer says humidity is high (>60%), then outside air is getting into the system. That means there's a leak, probably in a cold air return duct.
If humidity is a little high but the room temperature is also high, you need to measure the temperature of the air coming out of the vents. It should be 13+ degrees cooler than the rest of the room, IIRC. The correct way to do this is right at the air handler inside the ducts, but we're not looking for a precise diagnosis. If the air coming out of the vents isn't cool enough, there's either a problem with the unit (insufficient refrigerant, bad TXP valve, a leak, etc.) or hot attic air is leaking into the ducts on the way back from the air handler.

Since it's your condo, can you have the power company do a home energy audit? If there are duct problems, they will find them, and if they do, they will contribute toward the cost of repair. They're paying for more than half of my duct repair later this month.

Also, call a local AC contractor. It's around $80 to get a maintenance call where they just inspect and check everything. Remember, the power company/duct guys do not care about the air conditioner hardware and the AC contractor does not care about the duct work. They may say otherwise, but in my experience, they each work on their own thing.
