To receover property damage in Florida the landlord must file a suit against the tenant. If the landlord wins he can collect using usual means of collecting on a judgment. If the tenant has property then a lien can be placed on it to satisfy a judgment. But if the lien is on a primary home then he cannot be forced to sell the home per homestead laws.
