Answered for: Florida

Upon the vacating of the premises for termination of the rental agreement, if the landlord does not intend to impose a claim on the security deposit, the landlord must return the security deposit, together with interest if otherwise required, within 15 days after the termination of the rental agreement.

This is Florida law on security deposit, return deadline (no claim), in the words of the statute itself, read at the official source on 2026-08-21.
