One tenent on the lease has moved out / the other remains - question

[Lisa Wilson]

Hi,

I rented a townhouse to a couple in early Feb. Both names are on the lease.

Over the weekend, one of the individuals texted me saying that she wants out of the lease and she has moved out already bc the realationship turned abusive. She says the other person does want to stay.

The other tenent qualifies on their own and I'm ok drawing up a new lease with just the one persons name.

Does anyone have a document (form or template) saying that the tenent coming off the lease does not get their deposit back and when the other tenent moves out would receive the full deposit back (if eligible) ?

Anything else I am not thinking of? Any words of wisdom in this situation?

Thank you,

LJ
