Terminating a Lease (Real Estate & Property Law)

Tue, 11 Jun 2002 18:33:00 GMT

What is the name of your state? Florida.
I terminated a lease using the proper procedure. I moved out in the middle of the month but paid the rent for the whole month. I was paying the water and electricity through the end of the month. Without my knowledge, the landlord came and started painting. I had a cleaning company come to clean the house after he had been in to start painting. He had left equipment all around and had not protected the carpets. The cleaners called me and I called him. He said they didn't have to clean the carpets as he was going to replace them. After 20 days, I called to see where the security deposit was. He said he wasn't going to return it as the house had not been clean thoroughly. Do I have any recourse?

  • Take him/her to small claims court . Your landlord is supposed to provide in writting to you either a list /or detailed billing for things the dep was kept for , or some kind of explanation . Also Your If your landlord began to work on the unit while you still had legal possession of the unit You might be able to ask for part of the rent back in court to. Call your city county govt center and ask them if they have a booklet about renter /landlord obligations with your states laws in it . So you make sure you have info that is for your state , every place is different .
