Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida
Moving out early out of lease 5month before because of family reasons
I would like to move out in october this year to move to mississippi. My lease would end in january 2007. Now I have been shopping around for apartments and found one in mississippi. In order for me to qualify for the place they need rentersverification from my landlord. My landlord said that she will not give it out unless I give her the early termination fee and a 30 days notice. I am aware of this regulation about written 30 days notice and one month rent, because it is legal binded in my lease contract. But when I ask her she said this would be company rules. i do not believe this is right. How do I be able to look for a place to live if she do not give any renterdverification to the other propertie. Because that is what all the others require. Please help me.I dint think this is correct. She said she would give it for a carloan, if I want to buy a house, any other loan but not to any other apartment comunity. Is this correct can they do this. It just don't make since. I would not even know if i had another apartement. So how Iam suposed to go about. They would need that to qualify me for an another place. And than when I know it I would give her the notice like agreed in the rental contract.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you.

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
Your landlord would probably verify your lease upon request, but they might give you a bad reference if you were to break your lease without paying the early termination fee. This would be perfectly normal and acceptable for a landlord to do. A lease is a business agreement which is binding on both parties. The company may set its own rules as to how they deal with requests for verification.
You should make your application as you plan to do but also make arrangements to comply with the lease agreement without violating it. If the early termination fee is required, then you should pay it in order to keep your record clean and unblemished.
