    Residential Lease Termination
    Hi,

    For the state of FL. Daughter rented apt signed a lease agrmt. Agreement states min of 60 days written notice of moving out. After lease term goes MTM. Lease expired on 7/30/08.

    She left FL in a hurry in March 08. Verbally contact Property Mgmt, to advise of situation and ask if a person could stay and complete the lease. She was verbally advised of yes, send something in writing of name and contact information of person in apt stayiing to fulfill the lease term.

    She did certified mail on April 9 '08. Rent paid for March, April, June, July.

    12/2 she receives notification from collection agency for$1,685 for August & Sept Rents and early termination fine. Letter of Assignment has HANDWRITTEN note on bottom - LEASE NOT BROKEN - "HE" didn't give notice.

    Question - can she be held liable if she provided the written notice (60+ days in advance) and the rents were paid through the lease term? AND they have inadvertently acknowledge it wasn't her they were collecting rent from (so noted by the HE?)

    They are threatening jail time, etc which is utterly ridiculous.. Can you help?

    She is in CA now and not able to go back and fight this...

    Thank you for any insight you might have..

    Cindy
