Tampa, FL asked in Landlord - Tenant and Real Estate Law for Florida

Q: December 2023 rent paid in full. Fire occurred 12/23/2023. Still no refund for days not living on property due to fire.

Have asked previous landlord for interest accrued from our deposit, refund for days not able to live on property due to fire. Provided the landlord with copy of our renter's policy which included liability. Landlord charged monthly liability fees to us. I have been trying to resolve for 10 months. I believe our rights have been violated and I'm tired of his intimidation tactics and avoidance. I want to avoid going to court, but this is mentally draining and I am certain that he is in violation of the law. Please advise. Thank you.
