Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
We are landlords of a property in Florida. Due to damages we are planning to withhold a portion of the tenant's security deposit. We sent a certified letter to the former tenants advising of our wish and reasons for withholding some of the deposit money. According to the Florida statute it states the tenants have 15 days to respond to our certified letter. We have not heard from them so can we go ahead and disburse the money? And just to clarify it has been more than 15 calendar days not "business" days since they rec'd the certified letter. The statue reads "15 days". We appreciate any advice offered. Thank you!
