Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Florida

Only if your written lease gives you that option.

The simple answer to your question is, YES you can break your lease. However there may be consequences for breaking that lease. Unless you are active duty military and being transferred as part of your military orders, there is no statutory provision which requires a landlord to let you out of the lease with no penalty. However, depending on the language of your lease your penalty for breaking it may be small or non existent. You may want to have an attorney review the lease and give you an opinion, or you may choose to go it alone and take your chances.

My suggestion is, regardless of the language of the lease, talk to the landlord and explain the situation and see if there can be a resolution that will make both of you somewhat happy. Keep the communication lines open and let them know the time frame so they can make every effort to re-rent the residence. You can assist by asking friends if they know of anyone looking to rent the place. Post on Facebook, if your on there, about it and ask your "friends" to re-post. Allow the landlord to inspect the place before you move out so they know if there is anything they have to do in order to get it ready for the next tenant. With all of that said, be prepared to have to honor the contractual agreement you signed when you moved in. Try to keep your landlord happy if you can, you may need them as a rental reference in the future.

Good luck at the new job, and I hope your lease situation works out.
