You Are Entitled To Interest Payments For Your Security Deposit Held By Your Landlord

Florida Deposit Lawyer • February 9, 2025

1) CHECK YOUR LEASE. Go to the section regarding your security deposit (usually on the 1st or 2nd page). See if your security deposit is being held in an interest bearing account. If it is, Florida law requires your landlord to pay you interest money earned while your deposit was held in the landlord's account. If it does not say where or how your deposit is being held, please contact the firm.


NEXT: Check the letter sent to you by the landlord after your moved out. Did the landlord pay or credit you for interest earned on your security deposit? If NO, please contact this firm to get money you are owed.


Even if you received your security deposit back in full, you are still entitled to an interest payment. If you did not receive interest payment, please contact me.
