Move out questions and end of lease process
I have a tenant that moved in his girlfriend and kids a few months ago. I got her on the lease. Now things have soured with them and she and the kids moved out. They are month to month. I need to remove her from the lease. I know my "end of lease portion is weak and lacking", so here I am trying to update it. I am not sure its worth writing a new lease just for him. I think a lease addendum would be easier.
- Do I simply tell her (gf) I am taking back my property? But then I would have to do this to the him as well. This would force a new lease.
- Do I need the girlfriend to sign anything stating she is out? Assuming she does or I want her to her to at the very least.
- Would you change the locks? She moved an hour away.
- Anyone have a template they are willing to share?
- I never got a formal 30 day notice but has been gone for about 3 weeks.
- Do I need a forwarding address? She didn't contribute to the security deposit.
- Anyone care to share there move out process?
