Florida Statute §83.49 governs Orlando residential security deposits, requiring landlords to disclose holding accounts within 30 days and return deposits with itemized deductions within 15 to 60 days of move-out.
Florida law requires landlords holding residential security deposits to place them in a non-interest-bearing account, an interest-bearing account, or post a surety bond, and to give written notice to tenants within 30 days of receipt. Upon move-out, landlords have 15 days to return the full deposit if no claim is made, or 30 days to send a certified-mail notice of intended deductions. Tenants then have 15 days to object. Orlando enforces no additional deposit caps because Florida §125.0103 preempts local rent and deposit regulation. Disputed deductions go to county court.
Failure to give the §83.49 disclosure within 30 days or to send the deduction notice within 30 days of move-out forfeits the landlord's claim against the deposit.
