Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
Hi,
I moved out of a condo I was renting in the State of Florida on Sept. 18, 2009. I gave my landlord my new address to send the deposit. I have yet to recieve it though. I was reading that he has 30 days to contact me through certified mail if he is going to keep any of the deposit. Tomorrow will be the 30th day, and I have yet to receive anything? So my question is can he still keep any of my deposit? I had the whole condo repainted to the color of his choosing and professionally cleaned. I was told that he replaced the carpets from a neighbor but the carpets were in great shape. Is he allowed to use my deposit for the carpets?
Thanks for your time and any advice you can give,
Travis

No. The landlord had 30 days or he forfeits his right to the deposit money. Check this site: http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html
