Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Refund of Security Deposit & Four Corners

Your question is unclear. Please call my office or revise your e-mail and send it again. Is there a lease agreement? What does the "note" say and was it signed, and, if so, who signed it?

Regards,

Without seeing the document it is not possible to reply in a meaningful manner.

Re: Refund of Security Deposit & Four Corners

I agree with the other attorneys who responded that it is necessary to view the instrument in order to render an opinion. It is important to note, however, that Florida Statutes Chapter 83 were amended to provide that the Landlord has 30 (rather than 15) days in which to return a security deposit if a claim is made. Notice must be given by registered mail to the last known address of the tenant and the balance of the security deposit must be paid within the 30 day period.

I suggest that you meet with a local real estate attorney with all pertinent documents to review the specifics of your situation.

Without looking at the contract, and knowing more specific details, any advice I would render would be pure conjecture. It is best to speak with an attorney in his office and show him the documents at issue. Best of luck
