How do I get out of my lease?
I live in Florida and have a 1 year lease that I am only a few months into. I need to know how to get out of my lease. Through the grapevine, I had heard that a new law had passed in Florida that if you feel unsafe due to increased crime that one can get out of their lease. There has been 3 shooting in this complex since I have been here, 3 months. Besides finding a sublet is there a way to get out of your lease in Florida?

There are 3 ways to get out of the lease:
1: sublet 2: negotiate a buyout 3: get the landlord to agree to release you And Florida is the worst state to try and break a lease because the landlord is not required to actively seek a replacement so they can get you for the full balance of the lease |
