Florida | Landlord & Tenant Law
Legal Question
Small claims, security deposit
I have a tenent in Florida on a
month to month oral lease, i.e. no
written contract. He paid me 300 a
month for about 2 years. He gave
me one week notice and moved out
on the 7th of November. He never
paid me the rent. He also ruined a
carpet, dog ripped up a small patch,
and never fixed a hole in the wall.
Problem is I never claimed the rent
on my taxes. Can I take him to small
claims and expect to win if I claim his
income from this year on my next
years taxes? He never gave me a
deposit, paid me mostly in cash,
although i have some checks, maybe
5 or 6 and his mailing address was
kept at my house over that period of
time. Just don't want to get screwed
because I never claimed the taxes.
