Max Mera, is unlawfully trying to steal $3,500 from me in the form of deposit theft.
I signed a lease with him on 8/21/22 for 3908 NW 207th Road Miami Gardens, FL 33055, a residential home he owns under ILCODICEDAMAICCI LLC. I used a realtor and so did he to ensure our documents were correct. We signed a standard FL Realtors lease together for 3908 NW 207th Road Miami Gardens, FL 33055 at $3,500/month
I am also Section 8 voucher recipient, and this lease was subject to sect 8 approval and his cooperation. The deposit was 100% refundable and subject to the same sect 8 approval and his corporation. To add an extra layer of protection, we also signed a additional addendum explicitly stating the lease and is subject to sect 8 approval, and the deposit is 100% refundable if he or sect 8 does not approve the lease.
I gave Max Mera a $3,500 deposit via bank deposit to his account at Citi bank, Acct # 3290400860 in Coral Gables, FL on 8/23/22.
From that time forward, both my realtor and his realtor worked together to process the sect 8 approval process. Max initially agreed to work with section 8 and the realtors when we signed the lease but then later on 10/10/22, before the lease started, Max changed his mind and declined to accept the section 8 voucher.
Section 8 asked max to reduce the lease rate from $3,500 to $2,700 and he declined to accept it and thereby choose not to cooperate further with me or sect 8 and the lease of 3908 NW 207th Road Miami Gardens, FL 33055 to me.
I then requested with the guidance of my realtor via certified mail to his address (and email and text message) that he return the $3,500 depsoit being he said choose not moving forward and he advised he was unable to return the deposit until 11/7/22 for no specific reason.
Florida State Statute § 83.49 states he is required to return the deposit in 15 days. He also never notified me in writing of any reasons why he does not have my depsoit available to be returned. I then over several requests in the following weeks and asked him to return the depsoit and to no avail did he. I followed up with him on 11/7/22 for the depsoit again and he said he would return it after he rented his house out to someone else.
I’m strongly under the impression he did not faithfully hold my depsoit but instead spent it as he repeatedly makes excuses that he cannot return it until he receives money from someone else. I am under the impression that he is racketeering a Ponzi Scheme with rental deposits as this is how he currently acts with me are.
I am a mother of 3 and a postal worker and have done everything I could to try and get him to return my deposit but unfortunately, he just chooses to not respond to my requests, my realtors requests or even his own realtors advice to return my deposit.
