Review security deposit accounts and 15/30-day notice procedures. Florida requires deposits held per statute to be returned within 15 days when no claim is made, or a claim notice sent by certified mail, or by email under s. 83.505, within 30 days of lease termination, and missing the notice window forfeits the right to keep any of the deposit. Certified mail remains the safer default: the email option requires a signed lease addendum in which both parties agree to electronic delivery, and either party may revoke it at any time.
