Florida· Answer
Must a Florida landlord provide an itemized statement of deductions?
Short answer
Yes. If the landlord withholds any portion of the deposit, Florida requires a written itemized statement listing each deduction and its amount within 30 days of move-out, under Fla. Stat. 83.49(3). 30 days if withholding any amount, with a written notice sent by certified mail itemizing the deductions

Honest limits
This is an informational answer based on Fla. Stat. 83.49(3) as of early 2026. It is not legal advice. Housing law changes year to year and local ordinances (especially in rent-controlled or rent-stabilized cities) can override or add to state law. For contested cases, consult a Florida-licensed attorney.
