Many property managers use the established companies but many want to charge fees in lieu of deposits on their own and they are pocketing the money and in some cases, they charge for example $150 a month in perpetuity, through renewals, instead of a $1000 security deposit upfront. This results in a LARGE profit to the property manager, the property owner has no clue it is going on, and most likely this is an unfair and deceptive trade practice or possibly is “insurance”. The property managers are in essence creating their own insurance product for the $1000. If there is $1000 in loss to the owner, the property manager pays it but pockets the difference collected.</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I sent an email about this issue a while back but nobody seemed interested.

I contacted the FLOIR (Florida Office of Insurance Regulation) and they told me it is insurance and they wanted me to name names which of course I would not do. The property managers think that is they do not call something “insurance”, then they are in the clear. I see some class actions on the way. There are way too many fees that are not being disclosed until an applicant pays money, gets approved, is bound to sign a lease, and is ready to sign the lease. That is false advertising, bait and switch and no different than the Resort Fee cases which made a lot of lawyers a lot of money. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'>Harry Heist</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:red'>CDC ORDER HAS BEEN STRUCK DOWN BY THE SUPREME COURT </span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:red'>INFO ON CARES COVERED PROPERTY: </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:red'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'><a href="https://url.emailprotection.link/?b2Mf4KXiF-Q7NL4AYpdoVM9Q7NIBkhYR7kbg1PybOJpfDJWGpKRR13_J561JkgVTxdZV8zsd99QZQgC-UBa0aHCSDoBNGh0SokTmXZSH5OIN-HDiRGrQRjBi-fjEfV1_O">https://evict.com/?page=cares_act_update</a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>LAW OFFICES OF <br>HEIST, WEISSE & WOLK P.A.<br>PH: 1 800 253 8428<br>FAX: 1 800 367 9038<br>"Serving the Property Management Professional"<br>Website: </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><a href="https://url.emailprotection.link/?bv0YBx6-DGZoctzBGod2_jqpI2hus3llfCtLXivn4pF-i6gkbGl6Pa4tK2rf8yvrWZV-1Kdy0Qet6IfynW8PLsw~~"><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>www.evict.com</span></b></a></span><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> <br>Email: </span></b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><a href="mailto:harry@evict.com"><b><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>harry@evict.com</span></b></a></span><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'> </span></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;color:#1F497D'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> <a href="mailto:landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org">landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a> <<a href="mailto:landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org">landten-bounces@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a>> <b>On Behalf Of </b>RPPTL Real Estate Leasing Committee<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, November 11, 2021 11:00 PM<br><b>To:</b> RPPTL Landlord Tenant Committee <<a href="mailto:landten@lists.flabarrpptl.org">landten@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a>>; RPPTL Landlord Tennant Committee <<a href="mailto:landtencl@lists.flabarrpptl.org">landtencl@lists.flabarrpptl.org</a>><br><b>Cc:</b> Trey Goldman <<a href="mailto:treyg@floridarealtors.org">treyg@floridarealtors.org</a>>; Marcia Tabak <<a href="mailto:marciat@floridarealtors.org">marciat@floridarealtors.org</a>><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [RPPTL Leasing Committee] LL/T Legislation - HB 537<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Dear Leasing Committee:</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Trey Goldman from Florida Realtors and the RREIL committee has provided the information below on HB 537: Fees in Lieu of Security Deposits (filed 11/8/21).
