Real Estate Lawyer Orlando, FL.
Hello All,
I am a landlord and also a tenant at the same time. I have a question my previous landlord sent me a letter of intent to impose claim on my security deposit. He provide a itemization list of damages and the last line on the itemization he states much more damage exist with no dollar amount associated. Most of the damages on the itemization list I have documented with a video during move in showing those damages. So my concern if I provide him proof of damages that he will use the much more damages exist and add to bogus damages. The other issue we didnt do a move in checklist and I didnt record the house when I moved out. As a landlord my self I understand the headache of tenants, but honestly I did everything right by this landlord. I can't believe he is doing this. Also the said landlord just passed his bar but before he can activate his license he has to sit in front of the ethics board because of something he did in the past. I dont know what it was. Also I never received the disclosure where my security deposit was being held. Does any one know what the law is on that and what is the law on commingling if he did? Does anyone know what I should to dispute this? Does anyone know a good real estate attorney in the Orlando Area? I just would hate to use attorney for a 3190 deposit. I would hate to have to take it to this level I would like to resolve it between him and I.
Thank you for your time
Jonathan
