After move out my previous landlord came back to me with a list of charges he wanted in addition to my security deposit. Included in these charges was things like pressure washing the driveway replacing exterior screen that had been ripped by falling branches and painting the baseboards. Are these things a tenant is responsible for?

the answer to your question is no. FL tenant law states that reasonable wear and tear of the tenant is expected and not to be taken out of the security deposit. If you damaged the carpet by having a fire in the middle of the room to roast marshmallows then you should pay for its replacement. Read your lease agreement!!!

the things that you stated are the landlord's responsibility not yours.
