Tenant Backing Out of a 2 Year Lease After 3 Months!

[Caleb Anderson]

Hey BP community!

So my tenant is backing out of their 2 year lease, and they've only been there 3 months. The reason for leaving is "getting married and moving in with new spouse". My cash investor owns the home, and I was handling management and money organization piece. The tenant has been great so far with no complaints. Trying to get some feedback and ideas on best ways to handle the situation. 

First thought was to- My party keeps security deposit. -Have tenant pay rent for the current month. -Have them pay cost of finding a new tenant.

Myself and investor were also considering selling the property, which we would make a profit from. We already have other properties that look interesting that we were planning on going for anyways. I know the tenant is responsible for the lease, but them leaving in the situation we are in almost seems like a good thing.

Thanks for any help!
