Sunrise, FL asked in Civil Litigation, Contracts and Landlord - Tenant for Florida

Q: I am being told I have to pay until the 29th of march and stay until the 29th of march when my lease ends on march 10th.

I don’t understand why I would have to stay and pay past the date my lease agreement says.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: You do not have to stay past or pay for days beyond the end date of the lease that was executed by the parties. Technically, it would be a breach of contract if you stay beyond the date agreed to by the parties. I would not stay beyond that nor pay for it if the contract says otherwise.
