Hi folks,
We have a tenant who wants to break their annual lease, which ends on August 31st, 2010. They have given us two months` notice.
I feel dumb asking this, but here goes anyway: are we (legally) able to tell them that they signed a one-year lease, and that they have to find a sub-letter if they want to leave? Or do we just have to let them go?
Here is what is written in our lease:
<h2 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 6pt 36pt; text-indent: -36pt;"></h2>QUOTE Notice of Intention to Vacate
The Tenant shall provide the Landlord with at least 60 days written notice of his intention to vacate at the end of the current term of the Lease. The Notice shall be effective on the last day of a month. Once such notice has been given, the Tenant shall permit the Landlord and/or the Landlord’s agents access to the Leased Premises to show it to prospective tenants or purchasers upon reasonable notice to the Tenant. When vacating the Leased Premises, the Tenant shall leave the premises and all fixtures, chattels and appliances belonging to the Landlord in a clean and good condition, consistent with its age and use.
Thanks for your help,
Moe
P.S. The property is in Ontario.
