    Angry Breaking Lease For Job

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Florida

    My husband recently got offered a job in Jacksonville this past week. We will have to break our apartment lease in Orlando because the company needs him right away in July. We know we must give at least a 30 days notice, but the lease fails to state anything about breaking our lease. Are we expected to pay the remanding months left in our lease before moving, or will they not even let us do that? We would like to know before talking to them, for fear that they will try and get as much money out of us as they can. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated.

    Default Re: Breaking Lease For Job

    Florida is one of a handful of states that do not require the landlord to mitigage his damages. Meaning, landlord does not have to try to re-rent the unit and can hold you to it's full term. The law states that you will still need to pay rent each month in accordance to your lease...until and if the landlord re-rents the property.
