Renters broke up and one has vacated

[Sierra Sabo]

I have a couple who signed a 12 month lease in August. One tenant send me notice that due to irreconcilable domestic issues she is no longer living at the property. The lease they signed doesn’t have anything about a lease breaking fee and has the two tenants jointly and severally liable. How should I respond to her?

@Sierra Sabo they are both liable for the full term of the lease. Plain and simple. If they dont pay then you will go after both for the full lease term.
