Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

I did not provide all information last submission

lease states that if new lease is not signed current lease continues for same time period with same requirements,

current requirements are: total $8400 due in $700 month increments; if lease is broken - balance is due

or on a month to month w/23% increase (app 161 per month - 4 x 161 = $644)

tenant has informed me 4 months into unsigned time that she is moving -

for all intents & purposes she is breaking the lease

can I, as the landlord, use her security deposit for the difference?

No. Security for physical damage cannot be used for rent without tenant's permission.
