Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Deposit Money

My previous landlord finally accepted

my demands to return my security

deposit in full since she failed to file a

claim with the 30 day time frame. I

have deposited the check and it has

cleared through the banks. Now her

husband is involved and changed

their mind and are requesting the

check back within 7 days or else! Do

they have any right to ask for the

money back? And in full?

Re: Deposit Money

Sure, they can always ask. You are under no obligation to return it. Likewise, the fact that they returned the deposit to you does not prohibit them from suing you for any damage to the apartment.
