what is the florida statue for breaking a lease after buying a house?

I lesed a room from a friend and signed a contract. 2 months ater she decieds that its just too much to handle so she asked if we can find some where else to live. I decided to buy a house and she and the other roomate can live together. I got my house within a month ad they could not find anything. now she says that i stil owe her for rent. what should I do I heard there is a Florida statue related to breakinging a lease automatically of purchasing a house. She did not give us anything in writing stating that we were finding another place of residence. do I have a case or should I give her the money?

1. Sorry, you can only terminate your lease if the landlord is materially violating your lease or Section 83.40 - 83.682 of the Florida Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Seems to me she basically "evicted" you when she asked you to find somewhere else to live. Let her take you to court. It would be small claims, but I bet you win.
