A solid lease, clear deposit and notice practices, and an understanding of Florida landlord-tenant rules go a long way toward avoiding disputes.
Florida law sets specific notice and procedure requirements. Following them correctly is essential — we can advise and act on the landlord’s behalf.
If you're making no claim against it, Florida requires return within 15 days of the tenant vacating. If you are, you must send written notice of your claim by certified mail within 30 days, itemizing the deduction. Miss the notice and you can forfeit the right to keep any of it.
It varies with the county and whether the tenant contests, but proper notice and filing are what keep it moving. Errors are the usual cause of delay.
No — Florida requires the court process. “Self-help” eviction can expose a landlord to liability. The lawful route is the reliable one.
Whether you have a legal question, need to schedule a consultation, or want to learn more about how we can help, we respond quickly and clearly.
