HOW DO I END A LEASE? A lease for a specific length of time ends on the last date stated in the lease. No notice is usually necessary.
Neither the landlord nor tenant can terminate it sooner unless the lease has an early termination provision or both parties agree. If you move out before the end of the term you may owe the landlord the rent for the REST OF THE LEASE! A month-to-month rental can be ended by either the landlord or tenant. Written notice must generally be given a certain period of time BEFORE the end of the rental period (the day the rent is due). In Florida notice must be given at least 15 days in advance of the end of the rental period. Absent an agreement to the contrary, Florida law will not permit termination of the lease other than at the end of a rental period.
