Best Answer

In Florida, the security deposit that a landlord collects must be deposited into a bank account, which does not have to be interest-bearing. If you violate the terms of your lease and/or cause damage to the rental property, the landlord may offset the cost of repairs against the amount of the security deposit he must return to you, which must be done within 30 days after you have departed the property. His failure to do this may result in his forfeiture of his right to keep whatever money he would otherwise have the right to keep.

Can a landlord kick you out with only 24hours notice in fl?

Under the landlord/tenant act in Florida and in most states, the landlord may not kick you out with only 24 hour notice. Depending on why the landlord is kicking you out, advanced notice must be issued, and the landlord cannot force you to move unless a judge signed an order of such. The exception to this rule is if the dwelling is uninhabitable.

How long does a court order last for eviction?

In an eviction process, the landlord has to proceed step-by-step. Normally on a writ of ejectment, the tenant has 24 hours to leave. If the tenant does not leave then the landlord has to call the Sheriff's office or Constable of that location to force the tenant out. The landlord has 24 hours from the time the order is written to do this, or the order will no longer be in effect (SC, FL). Of course these rules vary from state to state.
