Landlord / Tenant Law

Landlord / Tenant Law

Because it is your deposit.

Have you recently moved out of a rental property or are in the process of moving out? You probably think you will be returned all or most of your security deposit, especially since you took great care of your space. Unfortunately, landlords often make illegal deductions from your security deposit, making it seem as if there are no options for you to object.

If your landlord is withholding some or all of your security deposit, it is imperative that you act timely. Florida law only allows a limited time for you to dispute the landlord’s refusal to return the deposit. Crest Law will help you review any deductions being made by your landlord to your security deposit, and assist you in recovering any money owed. There is no minimum amount, we want to make sure your hard-earned money remains yours. You will pay no out-of-pocket costs, and if litigation is necessary, we will recover any attorneys’ fees and costs associated with your case from your landlord. If we recover nothing, you owe us nothing.

There are legitimate reasons why a landlord would withhold some or all of a security deposit. Unfortunately, we all too often see deposits being taken to improperly cover normal wear and tear or other impermissible items. Contact us today to speak with an attorney about your landlord's refusal to return the entire deposit.

We take cases we believe in and you have had enough financial burden. If your landlord has improperly taken some or all of your deposit, we will represent you with no out-of-pocket costs. If we recover, your landlord pays your fees and costs. There is absolutely no cost if we do not recover.

Unfortunately, we cannot state with certainty how long any individual matter will take. Each case is unique and is treated as such. Generally speaking, a lawsuit can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 years or longer; however, experience goes a long way in maximizing an outcome while reducing potential delay. Regardless of the complexity or time involved, Crest Law will treat your matter with the care, respect, and efficiency that you deserve.
