Answer:

The statement that applies to this situation is:

B)  He is entitled to a refund of $200 if requested in writing within 30 days of the contract date.

Explanation:

The Florida real estate laws provide that any real estate company that furnishes rental information to a prospective tenant for a fee must provide the prospective tenant with a receipt.  The receipt should contain the repayment provision, which can be made under specified conditions. However, the young man is expected to make his demand for a return of any part of the fee within 30 days from the date of the broker/sale contract.
