Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

You may have to take the landlord to court. If the landlord didn't give you notice within thirty days and you gave proper notice before vacating, you should get the deposit back unless it was non-refundable according to your lease. There is info on Florida landlord-tenant law (look under Deposit and Rent Requirements) with links to the Statutes at http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html. Go to your local court's website for more information on how to file a lawsuit. The winning party should get costs and attorney's fees. Regards,
