What do you charge to break a lease?
What terms/fees do you usually impose on a tenant who wants to terminate a lease agreement early? The penalty for early termination in my lease agreement is forfeiture of security deposit and one month's rent. It doesn't seem like much of a penalty in hindsight. I tried to see if there was guidance in the Texas Property Code but didn't see anything relevant to this situation.
