  Company has failed to refund security deposit within time allowed by state statutes.I moved out on the 24th of May per my military orders which are protected by the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. I messaged the property manager ************************* that I was clear of the house at 2:58pm. I received no response. I messaged him again June 24th which is beyond the FL State statutes 15 day window to return my deposit and the 30 day window to give me a verified letter stating why they are withholding my deposit. ***** responded that they only had to postmark a letter to send to me before 30 days, not that they had to give it to me. I responded with the screenshot of the state statute that clearly outlines the stipulations that they must adhere too. ***** failed to respond. Today (July 11th, 2024) I have still not received my refund nor my letter. It is now 49 days passed my move out. I have sent him another email.

  Complaint: 21976994
  
  I am rejecting this response because: The company has not filed their documentation in time in accordance with Florida State Statute. My move out date was 24MAY2024, it is now 15JUL2024 and I still have not received any moneys returned nor have I received their petition to withhold my deposit for a damages claim. 

  According to FL State Statute ***** (3.) (a) it states: "(a) Upon the vacating of the premises for termination of the lease, if the landlord does not intend to impose a claim on the security deposit, the landlord shall have *************************************************************************************** the landlord shall have *************************************************************************************************************** her intention to impose a claim on the deposit and the reason for imposing the claim. The notice shall contain a statement in substantially the following form:"

  The Statute says the landlord shall have 30 days from date of termination of lease to GIVE tenant written notice. Not postmark a letter, not think about sending it, not provide a phone call; give. As of today (15JUL2024) it has been 52 days and I have not received any such letter. According to the tracking information sent in their response, the letter was not even accepted at **** until 25JUN2024 which is still 32 days after I vacated the property. **** has failed to follow state statute and is refusing to return my funds. A complaint is being filed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. 

  
  Sincerely,

  More info

  I rented a house at **** ******* **** *** ********* ***** last August. The term of the lease was from 10/1/22 thru 10/31/23. On August 31, 2023 I purchased a house in St Augustine. On September 18, 2023 I began making trips moving things and trying to slowly settle into my new home. I arranged for movers to move the larger/heavier furniture in October. The movers contacted me and offered to do the moving on an earlier date and I accepted. I paid my October rent and informed the Gunn Property Management Company that I had placed the lock box on the door so they could have access in case of an emergency or if they were in the area and wanted to do an inspection at their convenience. I left drinks in the refrigerator as well as herbs planted on the side yard so that my friend and/or I could have access to trim herb leaves or so I could obtain a drink when I was in the area (as I still had my doctors there). I was informed by Gunn that they had taken over the property (which I was still holding keys to and paying utilities on) and terminated my lease because I had "surrendered the property". I believe this was illegal on their part and have asked for them to reimburse me my final month's rent since they are denying me access. I never informed them that I was not returning (as that was not my intention or I would have taken my plants & drinks) nor did they ever ask if my plan was to vacate. Don't tenants have rights in Florida????

  There was no reason for me to respond. I was informed by BBB that the property manager did not respond. What they did to me should be considered illegal and why I wanted to file a complaint.

  More info

  I contacted this business to tour a house for rent about May 5, 2022. I submitted an application to rent the property and paid credit app fees and an "admin fee" about May 6, 2022. On or about May 11, 2022 email notice was given in the form of a docusign email stating that the application had been denied, no explanation had been given for denial, the email stated NOT to contact the business to discuss the denial. It demanded that the docusign document be e-signed. I made the decisions NOT to sign because the info had been conveyed to me that they did not accept our credit history, even though, we have since then been APPROVED for a home loan and a different rental. I decided to reserve that other rental and ignored this email to sign that Gunn Property LLC was trying to get me to sign. These credit denial docusign emails from Gunn Properties continued daily for weeks, all ignored, non signed. A few days ago, I got another email frm Gunn Properties were acknowledging that we would move out of a property in late July. We have NEVER rented a property from them. I did not sign this email either, it had information and attachments on cleaning companies and other services to move out of an unnamed property. Since Gunn Properties does not answer phone calls or emails and their emails state NOT to contact them, after much perseverance, I got thru to a JOSH by calling from a different number. He was unaware that his company was sending move out notices to people who were not their tenants, did not live in their properties and never signed a lease with them. He said he would "take care of" it, I asked for a refund of our application and admin fees and he said he had initiated a refund. He did not send anything to confirm that. The credit denial emails have started again. This is harrassment and fraud to lie and demand money and action from non-customers. They must cease emails and issue refund promised.
