I live in Florida, how many days has the landlord to send a bill after we move out from an appartment?

Question

I move out more than 6 months from a house and the landlord sent me a bill 3 weeks ago, I have to pay?

Answer 1

What is the bill for?  Is it unpaid rent?  The answer to this question will probably make a big difference.  If it's for damage, hopefully you took pictures of the place during the moments you were walking out the door so that you have proof to the state you left the apartment in.

Be aware of the post about the loan- that's a scam.  They didn't even read your question, they are phishing for stupid people.  Second one I've seen today.

Answer 2

Well, in Florida aren't yall in a crisis right now.  That hurricane or something, flooding, damage, State of Emergency????

Answer 3

Is it for something that you actually owe? It's a long time, but if it's for products or services that you used (or for something you damaged) then yes, you should pay.

Answer 4

.  The law says the landlord has to send you the final accounting in less than 15 days.   You had a lousy landlord.  Next time insist on doing a walk thru with the landlord on move out day.  If the landlord says he is busy, wait until he realizes that you are not going to go until he comes to take a look. Then get him to sign a piece of paper saying It's Clean and No Money Is Owed ( you write this).

Pay him if you know that the place was damaged by you.

Answer 5

There is no time limit on billing you for damages.

While it varies from state to state, usually the landlord is required to report on the disposition of your cleaning deposit within 30 days of their taking control of the property after you have vacated it.

They are only required to send that notice to your last known residence. If you moved without notifying them, they can send it to your old place, pick it up there and put it in a file to show they did what the law specified. I have had to do this several times, only to discover where their new residence was and send them the bill subsequently.

Now, all they have to do is send you a disposition with what additional amount is due for damages. At a later date, when they have a better idea of what all the damages were and what the additional amount is due, they can revise that bill.

My advice is to try and reach an agreement with your old landlord. I take pictures and have never lost a court case of a tenant's damages.

Good Luck
