Fallout from tenant breakup. How would you handle this?

[Sylvia B.]

Just wondering how other landlords would handle this situation. I would like your input before saying what I did.

Tenants are a young unmarried couple, no kids. Man has the bulk of the income, woman can't afford the rent on her own. They split up, & she moves out.

He texts us, wanting her off the lease, and has changed the locks.

I text her, she agrees & gives an address to send the paperwork to. 3 weeks later she asks if he is allowed to lock her out while she is still on the lease. She also says he has threatened her and her dog.

Lease ends August 31.

@Sylvia B. Write up an amendment to remove her from the lease. Send to her for signature, then to him, then to you. Docusign can have that done in 20 mins if all parties are agreeing. Until that document is signed, end your involvement beyond getting the docs signed.
