Dispute it; don't pay. If they do not return deposit, sue for its return.

I agree. Dispute it and demand a return of your security deposit. Here is a link to free information on Florida landlord tenant law, with a link to the Florida statutes. You should find answers on how to proceed there. Good luck!
