My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida
We are renewing our lease, and our landlord has increased the rent $100 for the new lease term. This is our 3rd year here, and the original lease (when we initially moved in) stated a security deposit and last months rent to be paid.
On our new lease that was sent to us to be signed, it states the security deposit is $0. I checked the previous years lease, and it was as well listed as $0.
A year from now when we move out, are we going to have a hard time getting the original security deposit back? Should the new lease state that we paid the security deposit, or any language similar? The landlords have acted very shady when I brought this issue up to them previously, and brushed it off, refusing to add an addendum or anything to the new lease.
I don't want to get screwed over $3,000, and if we have a dispute about the security deposit a year from now, will the original lease that stated there was a deposit paid be sufficient in court?
Please help, thanks!
