Exclamation early termination clause in lease

Our lease includes a early termination clause stating that you may exit your lease by providing at least 60 days notice, with no further action required. We signed that paper. We put in our sixty days notice yesterday and were told we would have to pay rent on the apartment until it is rerented, regardless of our notice. No where on the early termination clause did it state this. When we informed the landlord of this issue, she said "we haven't updated the paper to state that policy, but that is the law" (florida statute 83.585 1b)

So my question is: Since there was an outdated paper in our lease saying we could provide 60 days notice with no strings attached, wouldn't that make our lease invalid or void-- and entitle us to the early termination policy we signed, whether it is a law or not?

If anyone could give me advice on this matter I would really appreciate it

Default Re: early termination clause in lease

The lease terms govern--if 60 days was allowed with no other penalty then that is what you can do.
