Allowed deductions on Security Deposit?

[Maria Bal]

Hi

I have been renting my old house in Miami since I moved away for the past 6 years.

My last 3 tenants just left the house.

I am extremely upset at the condition of the house:

-  Extremely dirty house - Was charged $300 to clean it.  Usual fare is $150.  Can I charge the full $300?

-  The tenants did not use AC filters - the AC system collapsed.  Had to replace the whole unit ($4000). The evaporator coils were dirty beyond repair from pet hair and dirt.  I asked the technician how much it would have cost to clean the evaporator coils and he said $800-$1000 (4ton unit - the unit was old - it made sense to change it).  Could I charge them $800 for remediation cost?

- The tenants did not notify me of a leak in the dining room.  It turns out I have now floor damage and the roof has three trees growing on top.  I feel that had they advised me of the leak (the ceiling paint is obviously damaged), some of the costs could have been averted.  )  The roof bill is at least $2500. (I have 2 quotes).  I am going to let this one slide I guess...

-  They harbored an illegal dog breaching the No Pets clause in the contract.   I asked them about it twice and they denied it (lied).   Can I fine them for having a dog?  $300? Can I charge pet rent retroactively? ($15 p/m?)   pet fee?

-  The house has a "wet dog stench" I cannot get rid of - especially in the sofa.  Can I charge them for the cost of replacing the sofa?  $200?  steam cleaning?

There are other things that exhibit their total negligence and indifference to consequence ...  like melted dishwasher trays; cracked granite above the dishwasher from hitting it with oversized items placed on the tray; kitchen wood panels/doors stained with grease splatter never cleaned which has removed the wood stain, etc.

Any advice? Pleaseee......
