Florida · operator pain
You waited for the HOA invoice before deciding whether to claim the deposit
Florida is not a single surrender clock. After termination and possession you must return the full deposit or send written claim notice within 15 days, then handle the balance within 30 days after notice.
- Wizard default
- 30 days from surrender (Deposit Desk)
- Label
- Fla. Stat. § 83.49
What goes wrong
- Possession date fuzzy after a condo move-out inspection delay.
- No written claim notice before day 20.
- Withhold lines copied from a Midwest template with no Florida dates.
Fix: Log possession in step 2, pick Miami in the city dropdown, and read the two-step guide before you mail. Export the packet for your operator log.
