Tough Rental Arangement

Christopher Bell
Posted

So I have a situation. I have two tenants where one was assaulting the other in a property. They have come to the agreement that the offender is moving out. How should I handle the lease setup? I don’t want to have the assaulter in the unit so I’m fine with him walking away and the current tenant is wanting to stay. I have in writing that the offender wants out of the lease. Should I have a new lease signed? How should I handle the security deposit since it should be a transfer? Is having them sign that they agree to everything ok?
