Hi All,
A tenant who moved in and signed a one year Lease 3 months ago, wants to leave in 3 months - half year before end of the Lease term.
He explained that he wants to end it earlier because he will have less money than he expected and will not be able to continue paying the rent if he stays longer. He added it is related to the fact he lost custody of his child and therefore will not be getting child benefits... bla bla..
My question is would you just let him leave without any penalty or expect him to compensate you for leaving early/breaking the lease?
I guess if he still had the right to give 60 days notice even if he signed a one year lease, then no additional penalty would be allowed(?)
THANKS.
