The rent shall be $[CRENT] per month and shall be due on or before the first day of each month. In the event the rent is received by US mail after the 3rd of the month, a late charge of $50 shall be due as additional rent.

TENANT agrees to pay LANDLORD the sum of $[CUSER(\"Security Deposit Amount\")], as security for faithful performance by TENANT of all terms, covenants and conditions of this lease. This deposit maybe applied by the LANDLORD for any monies owed by TENANT under the lease or Florida law, physical damages to the premises, costs, and attorney's fees associated with TENANT's failure to fulfill the terms of the lease and any monetary damages incurred by LANDLORD due to TENANT's default. TENANT cannot dictate that this deposit be used for any rent due.

The landlord may transfer advance rents to the landlord's account as they are due and without notice. When you move out, you must give the landlord your new address so that the landlord can send you notices regarding your deposit. The landlord must mail you notice, within 30 days after you move out, of the landlord's intent to impose a claim against the deposit. If you do not reply to the landlord stating your objection to the claim within 15 days after receipt of the landlord's notice, the landlord will collect the claim and must mail you the remaining deposit, if any. If the landlord fails to timely mail you notice, the landlord must return the deposit but may later file a lawsuit against you for damages. If you fail to timely object to a claim, the landlord may collect from the deposit, but you may later file a lawsuit claiming a refund. You should attempt to informally resolve any dispute before filing a lawsuit. Generally, the party in whose favor a judgment is rendered will be awarded costs and attorney fees payable by the losing party. This disclosure is basic.
