Dog hair and smell with no pets allowed

Just had tenants move out and when I went to inspect the property, among other things, I could tell that a dog was locked in the back room because of the smell, dog hair, and scratches on the door. They said they have no pets and the lease does not allow pets. My pet fee is $25/month. So my question is, in Florida: is it legal for me to take $300 ($25/ month for 12 months) out of the security deposit for a pet fee? There was also extra cleaning and painting involved Thanks!
