- Usual return clock: 15 days.
- Ordinary wear and tear is not deductible.
- Ask for a written forwarding address and record whether keys were returned.

Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about Florida move-out checklist papers. LeaseGen.io is not a law firm. Confirm current statutes before anyone signs.
- What is a move-out checklist?
- It records unit condition when the tenant surrenders possession. Use it alongside the move-in list before you send the deposit accounting. Florida does not cap the size of a residential security deposit. If the landlord makes no claim, the unused deposit is generally due within 15 days after the tenant vacates. If the landlord is keeping some or all of it, written notice of the claim is generally due within 30 days. The lease or a notice should say how and where the deposit is held.
- When is the deposit due back in Florida?
- Unused deposit money is generally due within 15 days after the tenancy ends, with an itemized list of lawful deductions (Fla. Stat. § 83.49). Ask for a forwarding address in writing.
- Is the move-out checklist the same as deposit itemization?
- No. The checklist documents condition. Itemization is the formal accounting that states what you kept from the deposit and why. You may need both.
