Am I allowed to send a revised security deposit claim?

[Mason Walker]

Hey everyone, I am hoping someone can help me out.

I already mailed my previous tenant their security deposit claim letter, but I just realized I left out a couple charges (about $100 worth). I was wondering if it is possible to send a revised claim letter that would void the first one? I am still well within the 30 day timeframe. I couldn’t find anything regarding my question in the statutes or on the internet so I am hoping one of you good people know the answer. 

Also, I am allowed to deduct cost and labor of painting? I had to completely repaint the 950 sqft house because of marks on the walls that wouldn’t wash off and dozens of patches that my tenant did before she left. She only lived there for 2.5 years, and the house was freshly painted before she move in. To compare, I had a tenant before who lived in my rental (diff property, similar sqftage) for 5 years, and I didn’t have to repaint the place after she moved out (just a couple touch ups).

I am located in Miami, Florida and tried to find a solid answer for paint lifespan. The answer seems to vary.

Also, I didn’t take pictures of all the walls before I painted, except for a couple that were very patched up with some kind of putty, so without more proof would I still be able to deduct for paint, if I am allowed to deduct for paint?

Thank you in advance to anyone who can help!!
