You find a tenant for your rental house. He signs a one-year lease on Tuesday.
On Thursday he contacts you and says he has changed his mind because his girlfriend sees "dead people" in the bathroom.
He expects you to cancel the lease!
What do you do, huh?
You smile and softly explain... "Listen Bub, that was a legal contract you signed. It binds both of us to everything printed on those sheets of paper.... the laws says so, thats who!
Both parties must agree to break a contract... it cant be done unilaterally (usually).
Is your reluctant tenant on the hook for an entire years worth of monthly lease payments?
It brings a tear to the eye of we hard boiled landlords... but he probably is not obligated to pay rent for the entire year.
Courts have ruled that the landlord (you)... has to make a good-faith effort to find a new tenant for the unit as soon as possible.
As soon as one is found the original crybaby is released from the contract.
The cost of renting to the new tenant can be (giggle) deducted from the security deposit you collected from Mr. Crybaby. That includes advertising and a copy of The Grinch Who Stole Christmas you give him as a go-away gift.
