Tenant Breaking Lease

[Brian Washburn]

I just signed a tenant to an 18 month lease in Omaha, NE. They looked at the house twice and agreed to an extended, 18 month lease. Now, 2 days into their term they wrote me to say that the house (2000 sqft) is too small for them, and they'd rather not even move in. Luckily, I already collected their 1st month rent.

What should I do? I have told them if they do not want to live there they need to provide me 60 days written notice and continue to pay rent until I find a new tenant (per the lease) . I also offered them $50 off rent each month to help cover a storage unit.

Thanks for any advice
