Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Landlord-Tenant Law in FL vs CA: I am from CA, but came back to USA via Miami. Was shocked to see apartment rent advertised for $1400/mon and then on signing the papers, landlord said that if we were late on rent, then monthly rent would be increased to "market rent" of $1500/mon. I was floored! What is this "market rent" business? Never saw this when I was growing up in CA, but anything seems to go in FL! Is it legal?

Any agreement such as this which two parties sign off on is legal.
