Collecting overdue rent after eviction

[Doug Block]

As a landlord in the state of Florida, if my tenant has not paid rent now for 2 months (I know its a longer time than you should allow, however we were in communication about this and i allowed him to be late given his specific status...but not this late!), and I choose to evict him, can I also sue in small claims court for overdue rent that has not been paid? Or is that lost money?
