Interest Bearing Security Deposits

Florida law states that if a security deposit is held in an interest bearing account, you have two options to deal with the earned interest.

The first option is for the tenant to be paid at least 75% of the annualized average rate. The second option is to pay the tenant 5% simple interest per year.

Are you familiar with the Florida law as it pertains to rental properties?
