My query entails organization law in the state of: Florida
We lately resigned our new lease. It stated that if our air conditioner broke that they would replace it. Also they came up with some new charges for cad cam fees from 2001 which have been $4500. They wanted those paid just just before they would replace our air conditioner.
Now two weeks ago our air broke, and even even though we were on a payment program to commit our prior bogus cam charges, we paid early.
We paid the checks two weeks ago and they kept claiming they did not have the checks. We recognized as yet one more accounting location they had and they stated they have had the checks for two weeks, but they can not deposit them until the end of the month or it will mess up their books. Meanwhile it is 87 degrees in my shop and it is hurting enterprise. When we told them we know they have the checks but have not deposited them, they just pointed out yes we know they are there, but we can not do something about the air conditioner until your checks clear.
How lengthy can they maintain holding them? Is it legal for them to hold my checks and not replace our air conditioning?
