Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Have 1 yr lease for townhome. Signed in March 2009, lease ends March 2010. Great relationship with Landlord (individual owner who lives out of state). I became pregnant recently, just purchased home with boyfriend/father of baby because townhome is too small. Lease does not reference "termination of lease" specifically. What is Florida law re breaking lease? Hopefully, landlord is cooperative and we can get someone new in right away. What are my rights vs his rights?

Thank you.

You cannot break a lease. LL usually will accept 2 months rent to terminate.
