RESPONSE:

(1) A bank may charge against the account of a customer an item that is properly payable from that account even though the charge creates an overdraft. FL ST s 674.401;

(2) A bank may charge against the account of a customer a check that is otherwise properly payable from the account, even though payment was made before the date of the check, "unless" the customer has given notice to the bank of the postdating describing the check with reasonable certainty. FL ST s 674.401

Therefore, beause you agree that the money was due, I cannot see that you have any rights against the landlord nor the bank.
