Your Florida move-out, dated from notice to deposit.
Enter your lease end or the day you give notice. You get every step that matters, each with its date and the statute behind it: notice, the steps that start your landlord's clock, report day, keys, and the day the deposit is due.
Last day to give written noticeYour deadline
Not less than 30 days' notice before the end of a monthly period. Month-to-month tenancy. A fixed-term lease or a signed agreement can set a different period: check yours.
Give 7 days' written notice with your new addressYour deadline
Unless your written lease says otherwise, Florida asks for at least 7 days' written notice before you vacate, by certified mail or hand delivery, with the address where you can be reached. Without it, the landlord is relieved of the notice-of-claim requirement.
Move-out condition report: photos of every roomYour deadline
Photograph each room after you clean, before you hand back the keys. Hashes and server receipts record when housr saw each photo.
Hand back the keys (your surrender date)Starts the clock
Florida's clock starts when: you vacate. Write down the date and how you returned the keys.
Full refund due if the landlord makes no claimLandlord's deadline
15 to refund with no claim; 30 to mail a notice of claim
Last day for a notice of claim (certified mail)Landlord's deadline
30 calendar days from move-out.
If nothing has arrived: send the demand letterYour deadline
Late is a fact you can put in writing. The letter cites Fla. Stat. §83.49(3) and the date it was due.
Small claims, if the demand goes unanswered (limit $8,000)
Florida Small Claims Rules cover county-court actions for money or property worth no more than $8,000, exclusive of costs, interest and attorneys' fees. The date assumes the 10-day reply window housr suggests in the letter.
Your deadline: 15 days from receipt of the notice of claimYour deadline
Object in writing within 15 days of receiving a notice of claim, or the landlord may keep the amount claimed. Count from the day it actually reaches you; this date assumes it arrives on the landlord's last day.
