Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

My boyfriend is moving out of his apartment after 5 years. When he notice to vacate, it was outside the 60 day notice. They say he owes $900.00, but the apartment is already rented to another tenant, once he leaves. I think this is a double dip by the apartment complex and not legal!

Please advise what to do!
