Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I gave my landlord a 60 days notice that i would be leaving at the end of my lease and kept a copy for myself. I went in to pay my last month and informed them that I would have to stay for one more month due to my new place not being ready. They stated that they never got my 60 day notice and that I would have to pay more but never stated how much more. I informed them that I have my copy of the 60 day notice and that stated that it doesn't mean anything and that it states in my lease that I would have to pay a certain amount more. I went home and checked my lease and where they were to place an dollar amount on how much more I might have to pay, it was blank. I called them and informed them of this and they stated that they didn't have to put in amount because it changes all the time. I went in to pay this months rent which is my last month and they wouldn't accept it because they stated I owed them $550.00 more on top of my regular rent because I am month to month, but I never signed a month to month lease for agreed on any dollar amount over my regular rent. They still wouldn't accept my $1,150 and instead gave my a move out notice which states that I would be out by the end of the month and on the lines where you would indicate how much it owed to them they left the lines blank once again and signed it. I called the management company and informed them of the problem I was having and they stated they would call the office and see what is going on. Within an hour I just a call stating that I would have to pay them the whole $1,750 even if i never signed a month to month lease, even if I never agreed to that amount and even if it doesn't state in my lease how much I would have to pay. I don't think this is fair. I feel because I had an issue with the Office Manager that she is trying to make this discult for me and due to the fact that I am from Costa Rica and really don't understand all this. Please Help
