Lease termination because of medical situation

[Steve Koller]

I have a tenant that called me up and informed me that he will be going into a rehab facility for the next 6 months and would like to terminate his lease. There is another 8 months under contract. Any suggestions on how I should handle this? Both from a legal standpoint and a professional standpoint. Thank you in advance.

He lives by himself? If he can provide paperwork regarding rehab, then I would probably let him go.
