What are the reasons that you can legally break a lease in FL?

Question

I thought military deployment was one, but then I read in teh paper about a guy who wasn't let out of his when he went to Iraq.

What else is there?

Answer 1

Some states have laws requiring that active military who are deployed overseas be allowed to break a lease.  Others have laws which require lease termination when active military are simply reassigned elsewhere.  Other states have no such laws whatsoever.

The Soldier's and Sailor's Civil Relief Act (federal) also provides some protections.

Beyond that, the only way to legally and properly terminate a lease is if the LANDLORD  violates sufficient terms of the lease.

Answer 2

Some states REQUIRE a "military clause" in leases, some don't. Some landlords will put them in - even if the state soesn't require it. I always did, but I also required that they show me their orders AND called their CO to make sure.

Other reasons: house is in such poor repair that it's unsafe. House burned down.

As long as the landlord is providing the housing he contracted to provide, the tenant can't break the contract.

Answer 3

that is a pretty broad question

if you want to break a lease if the other party is living up to his side then you might buy him out tell him you can have keep the deposit and you will leave the place clean
