Florida 15 Day Notice Law?
In short, our lease is up. We were doing a month to month, with no lease. We recently got engaged and wanted to save money for the next year so we found a cheaper place to live. We gave our landlord a 13 day notice that we were moving out... he is telling us he is keeping our security deposit because even though our lease (which was up two months ago) doesn't say anything about any sort of notice during our month to month agreement... he is telling us there is a Florida law that says we have to give a 15 day notice or he can keep our deposit.
Just wondering if there is any truth to this. My fiancé is in the military and is going to seek legal advice... but I just thought maybe I'd find an answer sooner on here.
Thanks :)
Security Deposit/30 Day Notice?
Our lease is up... our landlord told us he is holding our security deposit only because we were two days shy of giving him a 15 day move out notice... which, from what I understand is a law here in Florida? Can this be enforced even though it was not in our lease?
Also, I believe after googling all night last night... I read something about HIS responsibilities... as a landlord. Is it true, that by law he has to give us a written explanation or notice that he is not returning our deposit to us within 30 days of our lease being up? Is this true? And is so, when does that 30 days start? 30 days from the day we moved out? 30 days from the day our lease was up?
Thanks again :)
