More details to this question:
I have signed a lease in the state of Florida. I just today, 3/29, got the information of the current roommates. I am supposed to move in on 4/1. The roommate told me over text that the apartment is infested with fleas. The apartment complex said that the manager did a walk-through and saw no fleas. The roommate also was making me very uncomfortable and scared to live on property. Is there anyway to break my lease? Or can they assign me another apartment?

This sounds like a room mate issue, and if so, you will have to sort this out with the room mate. You can ask the LL about accommodation but bad room mate choice is not the LL's concern,
