Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I broke a real estate lease contract 3 weeks prior to the move in date. The landlord is holding 1 deposit, my realtor is holding another. The 3rd was due on the day I get the keys (March 15). Do I lose it all?

Would have to read the lease to properly answer.

Your lease agreement controls. The likelihood is that you lose all monies paid since you breached the contract unless there is a provision in the lease that allows you to get out. Get an attorney to review the contract
