Tenant went to jail, wife is moving out

Winter Heintz
Posted

I’ve had my tenants for the past 3 months and they’ve been great. Paid rent on time, communicated and are clean and quiet neighbors. Recently, the husband went to jail for a problem the wife is leaving him for. This problem is not something that would disqualify him from living there but she is moving out with the kids and has a no contact order with him. I’m sure he will not be able to pay for the rent himself. I’m wondering what the best route is going to be ? Just have them break the lease ? What are my options ?
