I'm looking to lease a new apartment in FL. However, I would like to be able to terminate the lease at any time without having to pay an outrageous penalty. A reasonable penalty to me would be giving up my sec. dep or 1 months rent or both.

Has anyone here recently signed a lease with a termination clause? From my understanding, FL is about the only state that doesn't require landlords to mitigate the remainder of a person's lease.

My last apartment in FL had a reasonable early termination clause, but it seems that many do not.

Anyone here able to successfully find a 'reasonable' termination clause?

Why don't you do a month to month? There are some available.

Where is the best place to find those? I'm assuming the bigger apt. complexes are less likely to do those. Am I better off going through a real estate co.?

Craiglist has them. Where are you looking? Look for privately owned condos.
