Help! Tenant had an affair. Wife left. What are my options?
So yea... The title explains it all. I had to serve an eviction notice is morning for $1695 in unpaid rent charges. Found out tonight that the wife is leaving tomorrow morning with the kids.
As of this morning the notice said he has 14-days to pay, but I want them both gone. With her leaving, do I have to honor him being the only occupant? I'm gonna try to convince him his best option is to just get out by end of month... Which it really is his best option.
I just want to try and get new tenants in here as quick as possible.

@Tony Crabtree I haven't seen a lease yet that allows someone to leave due to infidelity. They are both still responsible for the amount due and both will be named in your request for judgement. Now keep your eye out and see if someone new moves in who is not on the lease.
