Landlord Saying I Paid Rent To Closed Account And They Don't Have Funds. My Bank Says The Funds Deposited Successfully Therefore The Account Was Not Closed.

Location: Florida. I am having a landlord tenant issue in the state of Florida that I am hoping to get some advice on. I have been renting from quite a difficult landlord for the first time I've never had issues with a previous landlord. She's been quite difficult to deal with on every front needless to say we don't necessarily get along. So here's the issue. My lease paperwork indicates that rent must be paid into a Bank of America account and includes the account number. This is where I've been sending rent since the beginning of my tenancy. Last month she sent an odd email saying there's a different bank account for interest reasons to Zelle to. This was a mass email and referring to Zelle specifically which is not how I pay so I didn't think it pertained to me. Obviously I'm miscommunication on both sides. English isn't her first language and the email was confusing at best and more nonsensical in reality.
So here's the issue, I paid rent on Friday and the deposit went through on Monday. She states she doesn't have the money and to pay the new account. This is when she clarified that the new account is where all rents should go not just those doing Zelle deposits. Now she's telling me the old account is fully closed and there's a "nothing to check" when I asked to to look for the funds in the account listed in my lease. Whereas my bank states that since the money deposited successfully the account is NOT closed because if it was a closed account the bank would've rejected it and and it would come back to me.
My lease very clearly indicates that rent needs to be paid to a specific bank and account number. This is an active and signed lease. If she's refusing to even check the old account for the funds am I SOL for 2k I sent? Does a single poorly worded email supersede a signed lease?
