In Florida, landlords can charge a security deposit to protect themselves from financial losses when they rent a house, condo, apartment, or other residential property. The law allows landlords the ability to withhold some or all of the security deposit in specific circumstances, but it’s common for landlord-tenant disputes to happen when security deposit withholding is needed.
If you are a tenant or landlord in Florida who can’t come to an agreement about security deposit withholding, contact Flaxman Law Group for a consultation with a landlord-tenant dispute attorney. Working with an attorney means there’s someone on your side, protecting your rights.
