Subleasing to end lease early

[Sheree Scheufele]

What would you do? We currently have a lease with a tenant that ends April 30th. She reached out today saying she wants to move in with her boyfriend to a bigger place with their kids & they found one they could move into Feb 1st - she asked if she could find someone to sublease to finish out her lease.. we also have on our lease no moving during winter (nov 15-mar 15). Overall she's been a great tenant, no problems, rent always early.. obviously we'd screen the new people she found first, but would you grant this & allow her to move out before the end of her lease & in winter? If the new people found seem promising, could we just end the current lease & sign a completely new lease with them so we have someone staying longer than just the last few months of her lease? THANKS!!
