I'm not renewing the lease . . .

[Janice R.]

For a military couple.  The husband was deployed out of the country for 6-9 months recently and unfortunately, the wife doesn't know how to maintain our townhouse.  I have had thousands of mold, landscape and appliance damage/replacements in the last 4 months. I'm not going to bore you with my tale of woe.  I'm sucking it up because of the situation. 

All I know is that I'm getting them out of the property after the lease expires.  I understand the early termination clause for active military, but there's no problem for not renewing a lease, right? 

I'll still feel guilty.

Thank you all for your wise advice and counsel.  I have to stop "mothering" these tenants.   You are absolutely right that it is the right decision for our business.   

They are nice people, just young and they never had a real house to take care of.  But they'll be fine and get another rental easily in the area.  

OK, yes, I will pay for $40 for my carpet guy to move their pool table tomorrow - but I'm OK with that because it's a very good business decision!   ;-) 

Thanks again all!
