Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Florida

I have a commercial lease in the state of Florida that is coming to an end this month. The landlord sent me a final bill in which he did not deduct my lasts month's prepaid rent payment and some over the top late fee from a previous month. I sent him a letter disputing some of the charges, noting my calculations of what was owed stating this was a final payment and would conclude my financial lease commitments due to the landlord. In addition, I noted "full and final" payment on the check. He cashed the check and is attempting to collect additional payment. I feel in doing this I an accord and satisfaction was established and was settled in good faith. Obviously, the landlord feels differently. Do you believe the landlord's cashing legally binding as payment in full and is barred from attempting to collect any further balance due?
