Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
Security deposit dispute
We relocated to Atlanta from Tampa om February 24, 2006. We gave our landlord 60 days' written notice. Although we broke our lease due to uncontrollable circumstances, we helped her show the apartment and left it clean.
She strung us along for the past 34 days, pretending she intended to give us SOME of the deposit back, but when I advised her today that Florida law requires that she send us via CERTIFIED MAIL, written notice of her intention to withold some or all of our deposit within 30 days, or else she would forfeit any right to keep ANYTHING, she said that she wasn't giving anything back. Do we have a small claims case?
Please dial extension 208 for the first contact phone number.
