Question about Collecting Tenant Excessive Damages Repair Cost in Florida

[Shannon D.]

Our tenant vacated our property, leaving extensive damages that surpass the security deposit. How can we effectively pursue the charges if the tenant refuses or ignores the responsibility to cover the repair costs?  

Also, is it legally permissible to share information about the damages with their new landlord if they don't pay within a specific timeframe?

@Kevin Sobilo Thank you for your comment. After obtaining court judgment, cannot we hire a collection company to go after them?
