When you break a lease, you'll generally be charged penalties by your landlord. Failure to pay these penalties can impact your credit scores, as your landlord can turn the debt over to a collection agency.

Breaking a lease in Florida without penalties is possible, so long as there is a justifiable reason for doing so. The three main justifiable reasons are being on active military duty, tenant rights violations, or health and safety violations.

In most instances, breaking lease agreements usually requires the tenants to pay about 2 to 3 months' rent or forfeit their security deposit. You can negotiate the termination fees with the landlord with the intention to have him/her reduce the fees and return your deposit.

Voluntary Termination: If the duration of the tenancy is month-to-month, either party must give at least 15 days notice prior to the end of the month that he or she wants to terminate the rental agreement. If the tenancy is week-to-week, either must give at least 7 days notice prior to the end of a weekly period.

You may be able to legally move out before the lease term ends in the following situations. You Are Starting Active Military Duty. ... The Rental Unit Is Unsafe or Violates Florida Health or Safety Codes. ... Your Landlord Harasses You or Violates Your Privacy Rights.

Ing to the Florida statutes (Title VI - Chapter 83 - Section 57), tenants must provide written notice to their landlord before ending the rental agreement. The amount of notice will depend on the type of lease they have: Weekly Lease - Seven days of notice. Monthly Lease - 15 days of notice.
