Florida Early termination (DV/military)
Can a tenant break a lease early for domestic violence or military service in Florida?
Servicemembers may end a lease with 30 days' written notice for qualifying orders, e.g. a permanent change of station 35+ miles away, discharge, orders into government quarters, or temporary orders over 60 days to an area 35+ miles away. Ch. 83 has no domestic-violence early-termination provision.
