Rule notes
- Interest: Fla. Stat. § 83.49(1) sets 5% per year simple interest when a surety bond is posted, and lets a landlord holding the deposit in an interest-bearing account pay either 5% simple interest or at least 75% of the account's annualized average rate.
- Deadline: § 83.49(3)(a) requires return within 15 days after the tenancy ends when no deduction is claimed, or written notice of a claim by certified mail within 30 days.
