You’ve honored your lease, maintained your home, and moved out—now, where’s your security deposit? Too often, landlords unfairly withhold security deposits, leaving tenants without the funds they need to move forward. At Korte and Associates, we’re here to help you recover the money that rightfully belongs to you.

Florida law is clear: landlords must return security deposits within a specific timeframe unless there is a valid reason to withhold it, such as unpaid rent or damage beyond normal wear and tear. Unfortunately, some landlords try to take advantage of tenants by making unreasonable claims or refusing to return the deposit altogether.

Our attorneys are well-versed in Florida’s security deposit laws and will work tirelessly to ensure that you receive the full amount you’re owed. We’ll review your lease agreement, document the condition of the property, and, if necessary, take legal action to recover your deposit.



Don’t let an unfair landlord keep what’s yours. Let Korte and Associates fight for you.
