[RPPTL LandTen] 2 questions

[Harry Heist]

1.      Do any of you know of requirement for window child protective devices in high rises? I find none in FS. Any local code?

2.      The big one. Property manager manages house. Tenant disputes deposit withholding.

a.      Can the manager disburse the money to the owner (had an Orlando cases where the judge made the manager do it)

b.      Do they have to hold it and suppose no one sues? It sits for 5 years then is Unclaimed funds?

 

Some of you may remember when this was added below. This was added to get security deposit OUT of the dispute and settlement procedures which was onerous and silly for a $700 deposit. The DBPR has washed their hands of sec deposit disputes. I talked to numerous FREC commissioners.

 

I know we all have opinions on this and, Leonard, I know you would threaten the manager with “conversion” if you told them not to disburse and they did but does anyone have any case law on this.

 

It is a real headache for the property manager. Filing an interpleader for a $700 dispute is just plain stupid, it eats up the money, and just makes attorneys money and not even enough at that.

 

This really needs to be clarified someday. I would like to see the manager be comfortable in disbursing and let the owner and tenant fight it out.
