The landlord pay no taxes on rental income to Florida.
While the landlord doesn't pay the sales/tourist tax, he IS responsible for sending the money to the tax collector. He could cover the tax himself, he's not obligated to make the tenant pay for it. But he is responsible for making sure it gets paid.
