Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

My girl and I were renting a room in a 3/2 for two months. The landlord told me electricity was included. After a month and half, he told me to leave the appt, because his electricity bill was higher than he expected. We understood and were ready to leave on the end of the agreement. On that day, he began saying that he was not going to give us the entire 100$ deposit back. The matter is all about principles. On my contract, I have stipulated "the deposit is for material damages" and that the electricity is included. So legally, am I right or wrong?What are my chances in court without a lawyer?

If this is stipulated on your lease, then you will probably succeed in court as long as the there is no material damage to the apartment.
