Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Hello,
I am in a bad situation at the moment. I currently reside in an apartment that caters mostly to college students. In early September, I had two guys moved into my apartment. Early on they started smoking weed and drink excessively especially since they are underage (19). I had a sit-down with both of them and explained to them that their behavior is unacceptable. So after that talk, things went from okay to bad and now worse. Now that I can't take it anymore I went to the leasing office and told them that I need to switch apartments. They are telling me that I cannot switch rooms and I told them that there is no way that I can live in an apartment where I am uncomfortable. The ideal thing to do is to file a complaint against them but I still live here and I don't know what these boys are capable of especially with their "drug dealing" business. I need to leave and don't want to ruin my life because if they get caught, we will all go down. According to the lease, there is no way around it. But I cannot continue to live like this. What else can I do?
