No, not usually for landlord-tenant cases. But, you should be able to recover your court costs and attorney's fees from the landlord. You could either handle it yourself or contact a local legal aid organization. There is free information on landlord-tenant law as well as links to the Florida Statutes at: http://www.800helpfla.com/landlord_text.html
