Florida law strictly regulates rental agreements and security deposits under Chapter 83. Landlords must hold security deposits separately and follow procedures for imposing claims or returning deposits. If a landlord fails to follow these procedures, they forfeit the right to withhold any portion of the deposit. The actual rental agreement determines tenant and landlord rights, but tenants can consult an attorney if they have disputes over terms. Attorneys' fees can be recovered in any legal action regarding the rental agreement or security deposit.
