If your landlord refuses to refund, you may be able to threaten him with the following rental rules.
1.) FEDERAL, the IRS requires rentals over two weeks to be reported on the individuals income tax.....I doubt your landlord will want to tangle with the IRS unless he is squeaky clean.
2.) STATE government, Florida requires your landlord to pay a 6% state sales tax, plus any applicable discretionary sales surtax, applies to rental charges or room rates paid for the right to use or occupy living quarters or sleeping or housekeeping accommodations for rental periods six months or less, often called “transient rental accommodations” or “transient rentals.”
Some examples are hotel and motel rooms, condominium units, timeshare resort
units, single-family homes, apartments or units in multiple unit structures, mobile homes, beach or vacation houses, campground sites, and trailer or RV parks.
