Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

deposit money
4 adults rented my home. (mom/dad/daughter/son in-law).when the lease was up I gave the mom the deposit money back. now, their kids are sueing me because they claim it was their money. the original deposit was drawn on the kids bank account because they were trying to buy the house (they failed at least 3 tries). the mom claimed that money was hers and the kids never paid any rent money. the check was for 25,000 because they didn't want to spend it and trusted us to hold it. we were instructed by the mom to deduct their monthly rent $850. from that amount. the original lease was signed by the kids. we did a new one with the parents when we were told the kids were moving out. they never did.

Re: deposit money

Retain counsel. This is too complicated to answer here but it appears you reimbursed the wrong party.
