Tenant leaves early, but found replacement
Hello -
1 of the 3 room mates is leaving 4 months prior to the lease being up. She found a replacement who gets along with the other two tenants. They have been great, house is clean, etc.
Should I have all 3 sign a new lease? Do the walk-through again as if they were all moving out and then start fresh?
Are their documents for this type of situation that need to be signed?
They tenant who is moving out wants her security deposit back. We are willing to do this because she has been good, but are not sure of the protocol here?
Any thoughts? Thanks!

I would just type up an addendum stating that Jane is moving out and Jill is moving in. Let them deal with the security deposit. They can have Jill give her share to Jane and be done with her. Then when they all move out, make the security deposit check out to the 3 that are living there.
