Cites Fla. Stat. §83.49(3)(b). This letter states facts and dates; it is not legal advice. Prepared with housr.io, a free renter tool.

Still to fill in: landlord's name, landlord's address, rental address, day you received the notice, amount claimed, reasons, mailing address, move-out date, your name.
