One person on a lease moving out - others want say in replacement

[Brandon B.]

I have a tenant who abruptly is moving out because of Covid. For now, they will pay but likely not for much longer. The other tenants who are still there want to have a say in who their new roommate is, whereas the tenant who is moving out just wants to find a replacement for themselves regardless of what the other tenants think. What would y'all do here? Do I just approve the first creditworthy person suggested to me, or do I let the other college students who are living there now have a say who replaces the old person on the lease?
