    Lightbulb Job Transfer From Pennsylvania to Florida, Will This Get Me Out Of My Lease?

    I received a promotion that moved me from PA to FL. My landlord was very understanding and released me from my lease. My fiance had his own lease with a roomate. We originally were trying to fulfill that obligation and keep paying his half, however that is becoming a financial challenge. Our realtor informed us that a landlord is legally required to release you if you move more than 50 miles for a new job. Is this true? The other part is that this landlord is new. They were in the apartment for three years wtih the same landlord and the property was sold, the new landlord required them to re-sign a new lease after they had been in a month to month lease for 2 years. Can he force them to do this, shouldnt the original lease be transferred? Should he legally release them from the lease since my fiance has a new job in FL?

    I see nothing in the Landlord Tenant Act to this effect.

    the new landlord required them to re-sign a new lease after they had been in a month to month lease for 2 years. Can he force them to do this, shouldnt the original lease be transferred?
    If he gave them 30 days to sign a new lease or leave, he's well within his rights. "Month to month" means either party can terminate the arrangement with 30 days notice.

    Ask your realtor to identify the statute or ordinance that would give you the right to get out of the lease.
