XX/XX/23 - On the specified date, I notified the third-party collection agency that XXXX had withheld our personal property after the lease expired on XX/XX/23. 

XXXX The collection company informed me that since XXXX had this in her lease ( ILLEGAL ) that it was okay. They informed me to refer to Section 35. 

XXXX I responded via email - Furthermore, I would like to address the issue of retrieving personal belongings. As per Section 83.67 of the Florida Statutes, a landlord can not include provisions in the lease agreement that waive or limit a tenant 's right to retrieve their personal belongings after eviction or termination of tenancy. It is my understanding that any provision in the lease or rental agreement that attempts to modify or waive a tenant 's rights under Chapter 83 is deemed void and unenforceable. In light of this information, I would appreciate it if you could provide evidence that my personal property is or was in storage.
