Tenant needs to end lease early. Need your opinion on my options
Situation: I have a tenant who due to sudden illness needs to end her lease early and return home to her family in Ohio to care for her.
She isn't disabled by the illness, not covid - just needs medical attention. She's 5 months into a year long lease. Her husband truck driver also in Ohio reliably paid the rent while she stayed here with her young children who attended a local boarding school. She would stay in the unit during periods of time for her children to come to visit on weekends.
I was considering an option to accept 2 months rent, to cover an empty unit while preparing it for show, and another months rent to allow time on the market. If I were to obtain a new tenant sooner I would return a months rent to them.
I would offer these in exchange for providing a good reference and willingness to accept their return, if they wish.
Any thoughts on other options ?
