Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
I recently purchased a property that was tenant occupied. After closing the previous owner transferred the security deposit but not the one time pet deposit of $500. Are they legally obligated to transfer that money?

It depends on what the lease agreement provides with regard to those funds. The lease agreement should have been reviewed prior to closing.
