What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I rented a home for 4 years, but after the first 1-year lease term expired, no new lease was signed, therefore, I became a month to month tenant. Although FL statute only requires me to give 15 day notice to vacate, I gave 30. I expected to receive my SD in full within the statutory deadline of 15 days, I did not. I then waited the statutory 30 days to receive notice of intent to claim on my SD, did not receive this either. I then sent a CRR demand letter for return of my SD to my LL, which they received a week ago. My question is, how long should I (do I have to) wait to get my SD before filing in small claims court? I couldn't find anything in the FL statutes regarding the timeframe in which the LL is required to pay after demand is made.
