Tenants Breakup, but can the lease break up?

[Andrew Westlund]

Weve got a guy and girl in a relationship in one of our units. They have broken up and want to move out at the end of their lease (end of feb). At that point they will be 7 months behind in rent at $1050 per month. She said she hasnt been able to pay because she lost her job to covid. He worked for most of the time but then said he lost his job end of oct. Now they are breaking up and she said he parents are willing to pay her half of the back rent, but not his... 

This sounds like better than nothing to us! Id probably take her half and then just work on getting the remainder from him... What she said her parents want is a letter saying that she will be "off the lease" if her half is paid... Can we do something like that? Any advise on how to proceed? Thanks
