Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
I followed Florida Statute 83.49 and sent a certified notice to impose claim on the security deposit for damages within 15 days from the tenant moving out. The tenant did not respond to my letter, so I sent her the remaining deposit within 15 days of her receiving the notice. It has been 2 months and she is now trying to sue me. What should I do?

Trying to sue you or suing you? If suing you, you probably need an attorney. If some demand is made, you can respond that you imposed the lien as per statute and no response was provided as required by statute so you disbursed.
