The State of Florida has very specific guidelines and rules regarding the return of a renter's security deposit. There are time limits and deadlines that the landlord and tenant must meet in order to live up to the laws that are in place.
Too often, landlords do not follow these rules and tenants have to fight for their money. It can also be the case that the tenant has caused damage that exceeds the amount of their security deposit and the landlord is forced to defend keeping the money.
