Landlord takes payment, it stops the eviction process?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? florida

My landlord filed an eviction on me for November rent not paid on 12/10/09, I was told by my landlord when she picked up her November rent check yesterday 12/13/09, I received the notice today in the mail and the landlord cashed the check today. My landlord stated she would stop the eviction since I paid November rent and if I gave her a check for $300 the cost to cancel the eviction she would let me stay until the end of December, I'm in the process of final approval for a new place which my landlord knew. My question is: Since she accepted payment for November rent does it void the eviction, assuming I notify the court? I'm not sure now......?

I have no lease since it expired 5/30/09 and I wouldn't sign a new one since they were in foreclosure so we went month to month, monthly rent had been lowered since they couldn't fix my air-conditioning and that is was finally drove me to move out, hopefully soon.

The LL can still appear in court .

If you haven't paid on time and the LL hasn't excepted Dec's. rent , I suspect the court will order eviction anyways , unless the court deems it a technicality and makes the LL start all over .

Generally speaking ,if a LL excepts rent/partial rent for a month ,then the court will not order eviction for that month and dismiss the petition.

Additional info

I had presented the landlords with a non-compliance notice for the air-conditioning issue as well as other issues on 11/22/09, the landlords can't afford to replace the air-conditioner and I needed to cover my butt.....so I filed a claim against them.

You can stop the eviction by coming to court with December rent and all other charges.
