Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I rented my house out to a friend-of-a-friend. It has turned out to be a not-so-good situation and now they have not paid rent this month. Rent is due on the 5th. I already sent a 3-Day Late Notice which expires 1/15.

Because it was a friend, I did not have them complete an application. Can I file a civil suit without social security numbers?

They deposit the rent money at my bank. If they do not pay by the end of the day tomorrow (1/15), can I refuse their rent and ask them to move? But, how would I refuse the rent since they deposit it at my bank?
