Inherited tenant..ending the lease
Just closed on my first rental unit Nov 9. The inherited tenant's lease is good through September 2019. Lease says I can't break it on my own...and it doesn't say anything about whether a mutual agreement can break the lease. They're late on payment and thus in default. I now have leverage to get her to agree in writing to break current lease (or get evicted), and then sign on to my own. Is this legal? I welcome your thoughts.
ps, I'm in Ohio

@Curtis Maag you can do anything as long as all parties agree to it. Tell them they can agree to a mutual termination or face eviction. Pretty simple.
