Tenets from hell, the sequel

[Elisabeth Lernhardt]

Last month I got a call from a tenant, wanting to get out of the lease, because her husband was being relocated to Arizona 2 weeks before Christmas! They had been in the house for 1 1/2 years and had 5 more months on the lease.  After immediately marketing the property, I had 2 applicants for January 1. 2024.  Then the tenant started to complain about the employer, saying he wouldn't cover the move, and they didn't have the deposit money for the new rental home.  Then they wanted me to send an email to the employer explaining they had to break the lease. At this point I got sucked in send the email stating , that they had 5 more months and it would cost a months rent to break the lease. The next thing I get a text from the tenant, accusing me , that I caused him to get fired!

There is a reason this saying exists and I find it all too true in my RE business.
