Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

" This lease may be terminated at the end of its initial term upon sixty (60) days written notice, as provided for in Paragraph 3, or at the end of any month thereafter only by giving thirty (30) days written notice of intention to terminate."

Does this mean I can break my current lease term with 30days written notice @ the end of the month?

It means that at the END of your lease IF you give 60days notice, (read paragraph 3) meaning 60 days before the END of your lease, you must notify them.

AFTER the END of your lease, you will be renting on a month to month basis, and you must give notice 30 days prior to termination. This paragraph does not give you the right to "break" the lease. If you break the lease you will incur costs and likely being sued for the balance of the rent for the rest of the lease.
