There's a notice you have to send by certified mail. You can find the statute and the wording of the notice online. The statute number is 83.49(3)(a). The statute is pretty clear and explains what to do. Don't be confused by the word "damages" in the notice. It doesn't just mean physical damage. It means rent, also.
