Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
real estate
2 years ago i rented a condo in florida from the owner. upon moving in, me and my roommate slipt the deposit of $1500 (750 ea). after a year, i moved out and my roommate stayed. so he gave me my 750 out of his pocket. however the landlord never put our deposit checks into an escrow account. they just sat in a drawer and never cashed or cleared and neither of us noticed the floating checks. when he moved out, the landlord realized what happened and gave him the full 1500 and now he is telling me i owe him 750. since this is his fault, am i obligated to pay him the money? i didnt know about this until 1 1/2 years after i was gone.

Re: real estate
Who is saying you owe $750? Since the landlord should have returned the deposit, and did, the landlord is owed nothing. Since your roommate paid you $750, he got all his money back, so he is owed nothing. Where is the problem?
