[RPPTL LandTen] Residential Security Deposits

[Heist, Weisse & Wolk]

None. 

 

If the property manager/agent is a  broker or licensed and under the broker,
FREC can penalize the broker/agent for failure to follow the law. The
Florida Division of Agriculture and Consumer Services gets involved
sometimes but I have never seen them go futher than writing  a letter,
asking for an explanation and ending it at that point.
