Lakeland, Florida - non paying tenant, how to collect money owed?

[Account Closed]

So I have a tenant in a house my LLC owns in Lakeland Florida that isn't paying. He didn't pay December and was pulling my PM by the nose that he'll just be little late which became "I can't afford this place anymore so I'm moving out by the end of the month" which now became "I need a few more days to move out" which became a month and a half total time of unpaid rent and counting.

All notices have been posted on time by the PM, during the "I need a few more days to move out" I had my PM prep the eviction package which is ready to submit but she claims we need to wait another 3 days since this month's rent is now overdue so she needs to post another 3 day notice and only afterwards we can file. Strange, but this post isn't about the PM, I'll deal with that later. My PM also says it seems like we might not need to file the eviction because it seems like the tenant is packing up, if he's not out by the time we can file - I'm filing.

Now here's the point of this thread: I'm owed at least a month and a half. Tenant has about 80% of a month's rent in deposit but I'm going bet that money will go towards bringing the place back in shape. My questions are:

1. How do I have this situation recorded in his credit / rent history so that future landlords are aware of this ?

2. Tenant isn't a deadbeat, he just played our kindness and understanding (trust me that'll never happen again). How do I go after what I'm owed ? 

Would love to get the help of the community about these two questions.

Thanks!
