Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Security Deposit Forfeit vs. Billing

If a Landlord has forfeited their claim to impose on the security deposit by reason that they didn't notify the intent within the time allowed by the signed lease agreement via certified mail or otherwise. Do they did have the right to bill or cliam money for damages they say were done to the apartment?

Thank you.
