Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Receiving complete Security Deposit

The property management company is deducting a portion of my security deposit to pay for cleaning and repairs. It has been 45 days since I officially moved out (with proper notice) and payed my final month's rent.

I never received a certified letter stating intention to impose a claim on my security deposit from them, even though they claimed to have sent one within 30 days.

Are there any circumstances where they can still put a claim on my security deposit, even though I never received a certified letter? Like if the certified letter gets lost in the mail?

Re: Receiving complete Security Deposit

They should have the returned certified mail letter showing that you refused it or that it went unclaimed. There is also electronic proof that it was sent and to where on the post office website. Should you have any further questions feel free to write or give me a call.
