Sometimes it's not worth the effort, especially if they leave place in clean, undamaged condition and utilities are paid up to date and if your lease states they lose deposit due to early termination of the lease.

Good luck.
Interesting. I've gone to small claims court twice in my lifetime. As I had posted, if I recall the fee, in another state was like $20. I won, AND COLLECTED both times.
Someone corrected me. The fees in Florida are much higher and is a percentage of the amount of the case. People typically, if they win in small claims court find it impossible to collect. If, in Florida though they charge far higher fees, if included in those higher fees is power, and aid to collect, it is perhaps a bargain.
