Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

In Florida, tenants must pay rent into the court’s registry during an eviction case. If not, they may lose the eviction case by default. Key word - may. In your eviction complaint, did you state the amount of monthly rent that is due and the month(s) in which it was not paid? If so, did they disagree? If so, did they file a Motion to Determine Rent? If so, they should have asked for the amount to be paid into the Court Registry. However, the judge is the one that will say if they are in default or not. Not you. Since you don't state all the facts in the case, it is impossible to answer this question directly. It's a "depends" answer.
