More details to this question:
My daughter received a 7 day move out letter, in which she did indeed moved out. She had paid her rent for that month, and the office stated they would send her the prorated amount in a check for the days after she moved out for the month. The apartment is now refusing applying it to move out costs as well as keeping her deposit. Can they do that?

There is no "pro-rated rent" for breach of lease. Rent is paid for the month on a month by month basis. When a lease is terminated, the remaining days on that month are simply forfeit. Whether they can keep the deposit depends on compliance with Fla. Stat. 83.49 and the reasons claimed by the LL.
