I live in fl. And lease is not up. I have come across a lovely condo that is affordable and owners are trying to sell ASAP! I have not given a 60 days notice because this was very unexpected. Please, if someone can tell me if there is a clause in the fl. Law books that can help me with this situation. I do not have 60 days to give but I can't afford to pay the landlord additional rental fees due to an early move.
Thanks in advance

You are probably stuck with having to pay to get out of your lease. Your landlord is unlikely to think that you buying a spot is a good reason for him to lose money. I'd try to find the money to pay out the lease someway if I were you. Or, if you really don't have it, try to add it into your closing costs so that it will be added to the condo mortgage. It's not the most financially responsible way to do it, but I've heard of people doing it.
Which is something to think about... do you have money for closing costs on the condo? Not including the 20% down (since I don't know how much you are financing), I've had to pay somewhere in the 7-15K range on my last two house purchases.
