it's not that easy,.....being a past landlord there is a landlord tenant act. You have rules to be able to keep the deposit or part of it. You must send them a certified letter explaining why you are keeping the funds and this has to be done in a certain time frame. My first tenants complained about me keeping part of there deposit, but luckly I was still within the time period to make it legal.
look it up on florida land lord act, it will tell you all the details.
It's easy when you know the rules. I learned the hard way the first time. Good luck with it
