Security Deposit Withholding
Florida law outlines how and when landlords should collect, retain, and refund tenant security deposits for residential lease / rental agreements. If you have questions about collecting, retaining, or refunding a tenant’s security deposit, contact our office to ensure you are following the required steps.
Unlawful Detainer Actions
In situations where there is no landlord-tenant relationship between the owner and the occupant(s), an unlawful detain action is the proper action to be filed to legally remove the occupant from the property. We often see these situations arise when a house guest over stays their welcome or when a family member refuses to move out after being asked to do so. If you have a house guest who has stayed too long or a family member who refuses to move out, reach out to our team for help by completing the form below or booking a consultation.
