How long does a landlord have to give you back a security deposit once you do a walk threw?
I have an apartment in florida.I will be out of my apartment as of the 31st of this month. My landlord told once all of my stuff is out he will inspect weither i am there or not and then after that he needs to send in some to check all the applinces so then if all is well he will give me a check which he says he has up to 15 days.

30 days and if he witholds any portion of it, he must give a written account for all deductions.
If you feel it is unjust, tell him you will take him to court.
He might decide to return it all.

it take about 30days . but that good you have to wait 15days. to get your deposit back after the walk threw if everything OK then you will get your money on time.

within 30 days of the last day of your lease term, and all rent has been paid and you give a forwarding address

some states might be a little different so you might call your local tenant association

in california it is 14 business days from the date you trun in the keys. if your landlord stated 15 days (probably 15 business days)...then that is what will probably happen.

remember to leave the place extremly clean and take pics of all the rooms so he cannot deduct for dirty or damages.

good luck

Landlords generally have 30 days to render a final accounting and refund your security deposit. Do the walk through with him. Document the inspection and both of you sign it. That way you avoid mis-understandings. There's no need for him to send someone in to check appliances. They're obviously clean or they're not and repairs are his problem, not yours.

When I was a landlord I'd do a joint walk through at move in and move out. If everything was fine, I'd hand them a check on the spot.

Why would he need to keep your money for that long if he saw in the walk through that it was clean and there was no damage. The appliance thing is just a put off, he can see about that in the walk through. I would just ask him to return my deposit on completion of the walk through if he has no problems with the conditions of the apartment. I have had to fight alot of landlords and I won everytime, they can be some shady characters, believe me

I really don't know about Florida laws, but normally that isn't correct procedure for a landlord to do. If I were you, I would be cautious about how he (landlord) is handling your departure. Usually, when you are moving out on the expectant date (31st you say?) the landlord would have already schedule that day as a time to inspect the apartment (make sure you're present), go over the check-list you filled out when you first moved in the apartment. It doesn't take no more than an hour to inspect appliances and the apartment. It is obviously common sense to know if an appliance works or not by pressing "on". There are some Landlords who are very crooked individuals who would do anything to hold on to the deposits. NEVER leave your apartment without doing a walk-through with the landlord. He would probally try to say it wasn't in a descent enough shape to give back your full deposit. It shouldn't take no more than 7 business days to get your deposit back from your departure date. Check Florida laws on Landlords keeping funds up to 15 days. Good Luck!
