    Default Is There a Early Lease Termination Law for the State of Florida?

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


    I am looking for an apartment in Florida. I would like to have a lease termination clause in my lease that allows me to terminate the lease with 30 or 60 days notice, and a reasonable termination fee. (ex. 1 months rent or sec. deposit). Is this possible?

    And is there a law in Florida about this?

    Sure, anything is possible, but it's not about the state law, it's about the terms you set forth with the landlord of the property that you rent.

    My suggestion would be to look for a landlord amenable to just doing a month to month lease with you. That way, you are not locked into a year term or even 6 months. Everything is usable negotiable.

    Once the terms are set and you violate those terms, that is where you can get into trouble.

    For specifics though on Florida law, check with www.hud.gov and search for Florida.

    You can seek out a landlord who is willing to do a short-term or month-to-month lease. You can ask other landlords if they will agree to your moving out on short notice without penalty (or with penalty), but unless they're desperate for tenants I expect them to offer their standard lease terms (which can vary a bit by landlord).

    A summary of your state's landlord-tenant laws can be found here.
