If They Are SO WILLING to Break their Lease, Why Would I Want Them?

  This is often a pattern with tenants who have a history of "breakage" as I am sure you know.

Good morning, Wallace S. Gibson, CPM  what are those people thinking when they want to break their lease with so many months left.... that's a true headache for anyone who deals with them....

Wallace, great thinkng to not want to inherit someone else's problem. Enjoy your day!

Ahhh yes, deja vu of my Property Management days that I do not miss at all. Happy New Year.....make it happy, healthy and prosperous.

All depends on the why of the situation, would investigate a little further if I'm willing to consider, but in a hot market I'll pass to next in line.

Aw shucks.  Folks can move any time they wish.  They're tenants, not prisoners.

That said, they should understand that they MUST adhere to the terms of their lease with respect to default.  They're credit report depends on it.  Often a tenant can buy their way out of a lease and still protect their credit.

So, move if you wish, just notice the landlord so they can secure the property and plan for new tenants. 

Welcome back Wallace.  Leases mean something?  Gee that's not fair.  Happy New Year.

What do you mean, I have to honor a legal contract?  But I want to move!  It is not fair. 

As Dr. Phil has said many times on his show, "if they will do it with you, they will do it too you",

I understand the desire to move, but a lease is a legal document and I don't get why many don't understand this.  Yes, they should speak w/ current landlord.  There may even be an option for them to find a larger place w/ same landlord.

Hello Wallace ... great post and this one may go "GOLD" and you are so right
