Security Deposit Recovery in Florida

At Llorens Law, PLLC, we help tenants recover security deposits that were wrongfully withheld by landlords. Moving is stressful enough without having to fight for money that legally belongs to you. If your landlord failed to return your deposit or made improper deductions, you may have legal options. Florida law sets strict rules for how and when a landlord must return a security deposit. When those rules are not followed, tenants have the right to take action.

How We Help With Deposit Recovery

Wrongfully Withheld Deposits
Assisting tenants whose landlords refused to return all or part of their security deposit without proper justification.

Improper or Missing Notice
Helping tenants when landlords fail to send the required written notice explaining deposit deductions within the legal timeframe.

Excessive or Unlawful Deductions
Challenging deductions for normal wear and tear, inflated repair costs, or charges that are not allowed under Florida law.

Failure to Return Deposit on Time
Taking action when a landlord fails to return the deposit or provide notice within the time required by law.

Demand Letters and Legal Action

Preparing demand letters and, when necessary, filing claims to recover deposits, interest, and applicable damages.

Why Security Deposit Disputes Matter

Security deposits are often a significant amount of money, especially after the costs of moving. When landlords ignore the law or rely on tenants not pushing back, deposits are unfairly withheld.

Acting quickly is important. Missing deadlines or responding improperly can affect your ability to recover your money.
