Florida - Specific Duration Of Tenancy

I have 12 month rental contract for my property that reads -
"Either party may terminate this agreement at the end of the term by giving the other party 60 days written notice prior to the end of the initial or or renewal lease term, but if no notice is given, then this agreement will be extended on a month to month basis under the sames terms and conditions contained in this agreement, provided; however, that in such event that the term "rent" as used in this agreement shall include a monthly payment as additional rent of $75.00 as a month to month fee."

There is a FL statute, 83.57, that states if If the rental agreement contains no provision as to duration of the tenancy, the duration is determined by the periods for which the rent is payable.

Further, if there is no specific "duration of tenancy" then a tenant may terminate a month to month lease within 15 days.

I'm trying to figure out if the contract language above allows tenants to do this?

    On a month to month lease, your duration of tenancy is one month. Termination notice must be at least one full month.
