Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

rental property. I received notice that monies were being taken for a list of issues, all invalid. I responded within my time frame to dispute which was signed for Septembe 14th. The response 41 days later was received, mailed on August 28th. It included a check minus the damages they claimed. No acknowledgement of the 3 page letter I sent. The response was ... in basic form...here is your check. Further disputes deal with the owners. What options do I have. The claim was not broken down in anyway ... just a list (which I disputed) and a total. Help. do they not owe me better than the responses I received. They were the property managers.
