Thanks everyone for your input. 

The tenant is buying a house. As a result of all of your advice, I've communicated with them about helping to find another tenant and they are receptive to that.

Thanks again!  

Thanks, Robert! That is great advice. Truly appreciate your help. 

Hi, I am a fairly new landlord. A tenant wants to move out 5 months before their term ends. Technically, they are responsible for 5 more months rent, but they have been good tenants and I want to keep a good relationship with them and want them to feel they've been treated fairly. I was thinking of possibly telling them they would lose their deposit (which is one months' rent) for leaving early. Does anyone have thoughts on how to handle this situation? 

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! This is super helpful. I will look into them. 

I'm currently looking to refinance a recently renovated and rented house. I welcome advice and/or recommendations on banks/lenders  or where to look. In general, I am interested in buying and holding single-family to 4-unit properties.
