My question involves an eviction in the state of: Florida

Hello,

I am in the middle of an eviction that I have filed against 2 tenants who are 3 months behind on rent. I noticed today that they have vacated the premesis even know the filed a motion to determine rent. I want to know if I am able to keep the security deposit for the unpaid rent? do I have to send them an intent to claim letter in this case? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to make sure everything is doe according to law because this has been a nightmare. Thanks in advance.
