Found out new tenant has criminal charges pending
So this is great. I just accepted a family in our condo with great income and credit. Credit and background checks passed. But now my wife found stories in the news that the guy is facing felony charges surrounding his use of computers to solicit sexual contact with a minor. I confirmed with our County Superior Court that the court proceedings will start in August.
But they have not moved in yet. The move-in date was July 1, so I still have runway to find a new tenant. But I have their security deposit, first month's rent, and a signed lease agreement already. Can I just send it back? Do I need a lawyer to break the lease agreement?
