What Do You Do If A Tenant Needs To Break A Lease?

When a tenant needs to break a lease, we inform them that they are responsible for all costs that our Owner would not have otherwise incurred if the tenant did not break the lease. This means that the current tenant will be responsible for (1) the lease commission of one month’s rent (2) the rent, lawn care, and utilities until the day the new tenant moves in (3) all make-ready costs to get the home ready for the new tenant and (4) the cost of rekeying the home. If the tenant pays all of these costs, we will release them from the lease contract.
