I don't know about Florida law but here they have to actively try to find another tenant and you are liable for the rent until they do so up until your lease is over.
Another problem you will face by doing this is they will find every little thing possible (damage, cleaning) to add to the amount owed.
Also KRL mentioned they have to get a judgement before it goes on your credit. Unless Florida has a specific law about this I don't believe this is true. I have placed unpaid money owed from past tenants on their credit report without a judgement and credit card companies routinely place negative info on credit reports without judgements. But maybe Florida is different.
