I think the reason you aren't getting answers is the question is confusing. If you sign a lease, which is a legal contract, you can't get out of it. Period. However, there are so many different circumstances and, depending on the landlord, you might be able to walk away from a rental.
One reason I am paying so much for a month to month rental is because I don't want to commit to a lease. I could rent the same size unit for hundreds less and not pay the 11% FL room tax but, when a person signs a lease, he/she is promising to stay for that period of time. The big question is "What if I just leave?" Some owners will shrug their shoulders and only keep your security deposit. Others will try to collect the balance owed on the lease and take you to court. If you plan to buy a home soon, then explain that when you move into a rental. Things are so bad nowadays that many landlords, if they don't have HOA restrictions, are willing to be flexible.
