my tenants moved in 2 months ago.  He got a job in Florida and is needing to break lease.  If I allow them to break the contract, do they get their deposit back? I've never done this before.   They are good tenants.

As long as there was no damage and I could re-rent the place pretty quickly, I would give them the deposit back. A lot of people will say “it’s a business and it needs to be treated as such” but I think having a little compassion can go a long way, not just in RE, but life in general.
