First Tenant Asking to BREAK LEASE after 11 Days! HELP!
Hey guys, I just listed my first property for rent in Grayslake, IL.
I went with Dillon Property Management, and they did their due diligence on the tenant and claimed they were a good fit.
The tenants move-in date was October 1, 2022. The tenant is now saying that he broke up with his girlfriend that he moved in (both on the lease), and his ex-wife said he can move back in with her.
I paid the property management company 1 months rent as a tenant placement fee $1950, and the lease was for one year. So I paid $1950 for a tenant to occupy my property from October 1st- October 11th?
Should I enforce the lease and risk the angry tenant trashing my property? Should I let him break the lease?
Any advise is much appreciated!
