My tenant left after the 3 day pay or quit eviction notice. Would it be illegal to change the locks? Do I need to ask her for the keys back?

More details to this question:
My tenant was behind 2 months of rent. Therefore, I gave her the 3 day pay or quit eviction notice. She texted me that she left. I am going to ask her for the keys back and to do a walkthrough of the place. If she somehow does not give the keys or respond to my message, am I able to change the locks of my property? The property is located in Florida.

You do not have to change the locks. Just go to Home Depot or elsewhere and they can change the cylinders steetings
