Tenant broke lease
So I have a tenant who has moved out before her lease has ended. She moved out in the middle of January 2024 and has an active lease until May 31st 2024. I took on the efforts of finding a new tenant to get her out of her lease. Well new tenant was found and signed a new lease for the property. Their lease starts Feb. 1st. The issue is that this tenant has unfortunately died and the wife no longer wants to move into the property. I had her sign a early termination agreement. So I'm wondering if the original tenant who moved out in January is still liable for paying rent until the end of her lease since the new tenant will not be moving in? The lease does not allow early termination by tenant. I found a tenant on "good faith".
