Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Rental deposits

I suggest you call the state or county bar association and ask for legal assistance for low income clients. It will unfortunately probably turn out that this is legal, but maybe you'll get lucky and they can do something to help you. Just google search your county or Florida and "low income legal assistance."

Check with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in your area. This federal agency oversees most of the low income housing in the State of Florida. If there is a local agency, they can inform you of the same and give you the telephone number to call for more information.
