a toilet over flowing is probably not grounds for termination, how much is left on the lease ? If they overflowed the toilet by putting something in there that isnt appropriate for a toilet then you can probably charge them. Hindsight I always try to buy my properties vacant for this reason. But you have to set the tone as a landlord .. bring the rent to current market price. Below market rent is very dangerous for landlords. (You attract all kinds of tenants) I'm sure you know. Bring it up to current market price asap and dont do any favors

How long have they been renting ? Why are the canceling? Bottom line in my opinion is if someone doesnt want to live there get them out asap .. I would have them pay a deposit and another months rent maybe a rent levy not worth the hassle in my opinion

What do you mean by water main? Are you referring to the main area where water enters the meter? And that has been damaged ?
