Re: Getting deposit back for vacation condo

If the company to whom you paid a deposit is in bankruptcy, then the only thing you can do is to file a "proof of claim" with the bankruptcy court. If they are not in bankruptcy, then you could file a small claims suit to recover your deposit. I can also suggest a person to contact if you're looking for another vacation rental in Siesta Key. Our office number is 5618640007.
