| | | Collection Agency problem
What is the name of your state?Florida
My former LL wants to charge me for unpaid rent, no notice fees, breach of contract fees when I broke the lease 2 months short of finishing the lease. I left him my deposit and $85.00 to cover the month of June's rent, he rented the apartment the same month of June and charge the other tenants also. I send him a certified letter a year and a month ago disputing the charges and I never heard from him again until now. I just receive a letter from a collection agency from him trying to get all this money which I know by Florida Law he cannot charge. I want to know my legal rights against the collection agency and against this landlord that wants to charge all this money he is not entitle to. Please advice. |

DC | Actually, I read the lease and the Florida law and he cannot charge doble for an unit. He cannot charge for normal wear and tear, I left the apartment really clean and he rented it the same month I moved out. No check needs to be written on my part, as a matter of fact, my attorney told me that I may be entitle to my deposit back since the LL is not allowed to charge $660 for no notice fees, $575 for breach of contract and also $575 for unpaid rent. I just wanted to know if he was allowed to charge all the things he wanted to charge me. |
