Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

Re: Medical Waiver

There is no provision for any "medical waiver" in order to cancel an apartment lease or any other legally binding contract in the State of Florida. Frankly, with the large number of elderly residents, no contract would ever be binding if there was.

I suggest that you meet with your landlord or landlord's agent to discuss your situation. Perhaps, you may be able to reach an amicable resolution.

Re: Medical Waiver

No. Your only hope is to get the landlord to voluntarily let you out of the lease.

Re: Medical Waiver

You will need to meet with the landlord to learn whether he/she is willing to work together with you toward a mutually acceptable resolution, as you cannot simply cancel the lease unilaterally because of your medical condition. Perhaps you know of someone else who would be willing to lease your apartment, thereby providing the landlord a reason to let you out of your lease, since he/she will not be losing any money by letting you out of your lease agreement. Good luck.
