How is this security deposit claim notice tailored to Florida?

The template is designed around Florida Statutes Chapter 83 (Residential Landlord and Tenant Act) and includes these cited features: the statutorily prescribed notice-of-claim wording, printed word-for-word with your amounts and reasons (§ 83.49(3)(a), Fla. Stat.); built around the 30-day mailing deadline and the tenant's 15-day objection window (§ 83.49(3)(a), Fla. Stat.); certificate of delivery for the certified-mail (or § 83.505 e-mail) requirement (§ 83.49(3)(a), Fla. Stat.). Automated tests check that the listed template language remains present. Legal effect still depends on the completed document, the facts, current law, and proper execution or delivery.

How do I sign it?

The landlord (or agent) signs, then sends the notice within 30 days of the tenant vacating — by certified mail to the tenant's last known mailing address, or by e-mail if the tenant signed a § 83.505 electronic-delivery addendum. Keep the certified-mail receipt (or the sent e-mail and transmission evidence) — missing the deadline or the delivery method forfeits the claim.

What happens if I miss the 30-day deadline?

Under Section 83.49(3)(a), a landlord who fails to give the required notice within 30 days forfeits the right to impose a claim on the deposit — and in a lawsuit over the deposit, the prevailing party can recover attorney's fees. The deadline is the whole ballgame.
