And because we broke our lease early we had to pay two weeks rent as a penalty. The real estate was good and found new tenants within a couple of days. Now i have just been told by my employer that i am no longer required to work interstate and i will be staying at the branch i am currently working at. The problem is now we do not have to shift but we have already given notice to break our lease. Is it reasonable to tell the real estate agent that we want to stay or does the law require us to vacate

You can discuss it with them your property manager, in theory you do have to vacate, but if you have been in a tenant in good standing your property manager will want to keep you :) so it is worth the discussion.

In Florida, the laws favor the landlord. If you decide to break the lease without going through the proper channels, you will owe for at least 2 months (yes, even if new tenants are found) + additional fees and expenses. You don't have "peek a poos", you have 3 small pekingese x poodle mutts that should not be left outside alone, especially not in a neighborhood like you are describing. If you can prove that this was a bait & switch, then the courts will likely find in your favor, but there will be extensive court hearings and the burden of proof will be on you. You need to get a lawyer and see what you can do to get out and minimize the amount that you owe.

You can try to tell the real estate agent that you'd like to stay after all, but since there are already new tenants, it is not likely that you'll be able to get the property back. Start looking for a new place to live.

It depends on the owner. Have they re-rented the apartment? They might be glad not to have to go to that expense. You need to ask them, not us. You do have to vacate, by law, if they have rerented the apartment. Without a lease you have no right to be there beyond the specified move out date.

if new tenants have signed a contract -
you are OUT!
it will be their place - not yours - as you gave notice
maybe the nice agent can find you a new place

If they haven't rented it yet, there should be no problem. If they have, it will be up to the landlord what he wants to do.

i don't think so becuase you never signed a contract saying you were leaving. It would probably be better for them to keep you so yeah i don't think so and if they do say anything just deny everything! lol
