California Early Lease Termination
Hey BP Peeps,
I'm looking for feedback on what you would do in this situation.
We have a tenant who gave us 60-days notice they are not planning to renew their lease (expires Jan. 31; 60 days notice required in lease). They're buying a house. There is an early termination fee, but I'm realizing it's a bit poorly worded: it says the tenant can either pay the balance on the lease, or pay a termination fee of $X-amount (about 2 months rent).
Tenant is asking to be let out of the lease at the end of next month, and to not be charged for January rent.
What would you do?
