does Florida statute 83 apply to commercial leases? Specifically, the section on security deposits?

Chapter 83 of the Florida Statutes is split into three parts: one that addresses residential tenancies, another the other for non-residential tenancies and a third for self storage unit tenancies.  There is a specific statute for deposits under the residential tenancy part.  Florida Statutes 83.49 is what you should look at.  There are time limitations for landlords to provide notice of making a claim on a security deposit. This is specific to Florida law and does not constitute legal advice as the facts presented are anonymous and incomplete. This is intended for general education only and does not create an attorney-client relationship. This should not be relied on and you must seek your own attorney client relationship.
