Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Re: Just signed lease - can I leave w/out breaking it?

NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. 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. By reading the �Response� to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

RESPONSE: Generally the answer is no unless your lease provides the grace period. If you leave without legal cause you may be held liable to your landlord for the duration of the lease. I recommend you visit an attorney prior to breaking any lease. Talk to your landlord and see if they will accept an early termination fee.
