We rented an apartment in Pinellas county, Florida for 2 and a half years.We signed years lease, and paid first months rent, last months rent, and a security deposit. On 11/01 we paid our rent for that month. On 11/6 we were approved for our new apartment, and called our LL and told him that we would be moving out on 12/1. I also sent a letter to legally inform him of our move. When we did the walk through with the LL, he said the carpet would have to be replaced, so we wouldn't be getting our deposit back. With the exception of normal wear and tear, there wasn't anything wrong with the carpet. It wasn't ripped, torn, or destroyed in any way. It was an old carpet, and he never had it cleaned before we moved in. I also want to know if he was entitled to keep the last months rent. We turned over the keys on 12/5 when we did the walk through. Is there anything we can do legally to get our money back?
We sent him numerous letters regarding this situation with no response. We even sent him a certified letter, and it was sent back as "never picked up".
