QUESTION
How do we sue to get our money back from a condo rental? Everything was agreed to between parties but owner never returned money, nor security deposit
Asked on May 26th, 2021 on Consumer Fraud - Florida
More details to this question:
We rented a condo through Florida Rentals in Holmes Beach, FL in January. The condo photos showed a full ocean view which was the sole reason for renting the place. Arrived and found a large construction ongoing and blocking any view. We agreed with owner to leave the next day, compensate 300$ and we moved to another place. Owner never returned money nor security deposit. We have been ongoing with Chase Visa on this dispute but they keep mishandling. Have all kinds of documentation, text messages, etc., proving our case.

You generally don't as it will cost ar more to "sue" than the amount in dispute. If the owner has not abided by the agreement you belive you reached its likely they have a different view. Whether you are bound by arbitration or other limitations will revolve around the terms of the rental you agreed to. If you expect to "sue" then you will need to retain a lawyer to handle this as this is not a DIY project and there are a lot of risks in litigaiton
