I was just using this as an example to show that I do know about the laws (a good portion of them anyway). I know it's basically a non-issue

You cannot write anything in a lease that will override the statutes. I don't have to be an experienced landlord to know that. Unless it states that in the statutes.

You cannot write anything in a lease that will override the statutes. Read statutes carefully... some FL are optional. Such as paying interest. I have it in my lease that I will not pay interest. My attorney is the one that told me to put in there b/c of the account the SD are in. Early Termination clause. LL does not have to offer an Early Termination Option. I happen to. As for Security Deposits. There is FL Case law against having security deposit (SD) in a separate account. In that case, the SD was NOT in the LL's personal account. In other words he did not co-mingle personal $$ with rental $$. And accounts had more than enough $$ to pay / refund SD.
