Tenant fighting security deposit deductions - Florida

[Deborah R.]

Hello, I had a tenant just move out and had to do quite a bit of work to the property to get it rent ready again.  We gave the property to them in pristine condition.  They are contesting my deductions from their deposit and want receipts.  I've read the Florida statute.  Doesn't say anything about receipts. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/sta...

While I do have receipts for several of the items, some of the deduction was for my personal time spent working at the property removing their trash, cleaning, touching up their nail holes, arranging for junk hauling, etc.  So - no receipt for my work and time.  

There was extensive cat hair and they didn't change the air filter like they needed to; so, cat hair was getting into the unit.  We have the AC company come out every 6 months for maintenance; I already talked to them about cleaning out the coils the next time they're out which is in another 2 months or so. But I don't have a receipt for that since it isn't done yet.  I only charged them half of what I paid for yard work, though.  

They also ruined a moveable cabinet that I had to have hauled away as trash.  I didn't actually purchase a new one due to timing with new tenant and supply chain/IKEA being out of stock, but I charged them the cost to buy a cheap one from IKEA in case I decide to replace it.  

So, what are your thoughts?  Thanks in advance!
