Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

So if they have allowed us to break the lease and we've spoken over the phone and email is that ok? we have already moved out and returned the keys they even worked w/setting up a person here to return the keys to b/c they live out of state. They said they were keeping our security deposit which is understandable since we broke the lease. Can they have until whenever to sue us?

You really should have a certified letter return receipt requested outline the entire situation in that they agreed and you agreed. By acceptance of the letter and the understanding that they are keeping the deposit, you can not be sued. Unless there is some extreme damage on your part to the property. They may still charge you rent until they re-rent the unit depending on what your lease states.
