Tenant Wants to Move Out Before Lease
I am self-managing my single-family home rental in Fresno, CA. My current tenant just notified me that they would like to move out by the end of next month. However, their 1-year lease is effective for 6 more months after their desired move-out date. They have been fantastic tenants so far. They are set up on automatic rent payments, and they have never been late. They send maintenance requests as needed, etc.
My lease allows me to have them pay any costs associated with their breach of lease, which includes the rent they would have paid if they stayed the whole term.
How have you all handled situations like this? Any piece of advice helps.
