Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I live in Florida and have recently moved out of a single family dwelling. The lease was up and we were in good standing with the landlord. We receive a letter under Section 83.49(3), Florida Statutes, stating that they intend to impose a claim for damages against our security deposit but don't know what that is yet. When the property is "rendered back to the condition it was upon your renting" by their contractor, then they will send us the amounts and damages. We have 15 days to respond. We don't know what they are claiming yet so we don't know if we object to any of the items. Can we respond with a simple statement as "we object to the deductions?"

Landlords have 15 days to respond to returning deposit. If they are stating that hte damages are extensive you might best get an attorney.
