Florida - Are pet deposits refundable if lease does not state otherwise?

Re: Florida - Are pet deposits refundable if lease does not state otherwise?

A pet deposit is to cover additional damages a pet might cause. No damages equals refund. It should not be confused with a pet fee, which is not refundable.

Our complex charges 500 dollars nonrefundable for an emotional support animal, and that seems to me like that should be illegal.

It's not illegal. An animal is still an animal that can cause damage. If you don't like the fee, live elsewhere.
