And please dont say that this is either a game or anime reference...

For some reason I think the answer is going to be just that. Anyway here's a puzzle.

A man lives in the penthouse of an apartment building. Every morning he takes the elevator down to the lobby and leaves the building. Upon his return, however, he can only travel halfway up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way - unless it's raining. What is the explanation for this?

he is a dwarf, so he cant reach the penthouse elevator button, unless he has his umbrella.

This one gave me some trouble thinking. But I think I got the answer. I believe the answer is Orange.

Ills of a scurvy crew cured by the sea,

Oranges were a common fruit which were carried by sailors in the past to protect themselves from the disease scurvy. Scurvy occurs due to lack of Vitamin C and Oranges have tons of Vitamin C in them.

Reason in its season but no rhyme.

Also the English word "orange" has a peculiar characteristic. It can't be rhymed with any other word.

So those were the reasons I picked Orange as the answer and not Lemon( it too got Vitamin C).

So did I get it right?
