Is It Worth Going To Small Claims Court Over $1723

Hello,

Last year I moved in with this girl let’s call her G. During this year G caused a lot of damage to the apartment including paint in her carpet, broken blinds etc. Well our lease ended and we got our final bill which showed our damages. The only money I owed was for administrative fees and the last month’s worth of water and sewer charges. That was it. All of the damages were to the master bedroom. (Her room). It was $250 for the master bath tub/shower resurface, $25 due to master blinds, $50 drywall repair, and $700 prorated carpet replacement. When I called the complex about the carpet they did explain to me that they had to replace the carpet due to the damage in the master bedroom. I have photos to even show the black stains in her carpet VS the living room carpet and carpet in my bedroom. The total of the damages and move out fees were $1283. I also would like to add in July I sent her $485 to setup our electric. She promised me she’d pay me back half and then that half turned into a free tattoo (she’s a tattoo artist) but I wasn’t interested in the free tattoo. I wanted my money. Looking back it was VERY dumb sending her that money. I should’ve setup the account myself. But I was dumb and naive. She has now closed this electricity account I believe which means she should have gotten some of that deposit back but I never saw my money again. When I brought it up before she completely ignored it. So someone please tell me if I’m being stupid by even thinking small claims court. I reside in Florida so I believe it definitely can go to court.
