Tenant Issue - Thoughts?

Elliot Larkin

Hi There,

I've got an issue I haven't encountered before as a landlord, the lease is just under the girl's name. Today is the last day of the lease for a sfh I own and I got a message from the boyfriend of the girl on the lease saying, "----- and I broke up and she left. I'm running behind on the move out, I'm planning to be out by January 15th." 

Context: Property is in Florida, my mother-in-law is moving in and doesn't need to move in immediately (she is flexible), the guy who texted me is not a good apple (the only reason I rented to them is because the girl is responsible). 

I like to avoid evictions for the sake of damage to the property, time it takes to evict, and cost of eviction. If I don't file an eviction, what form should I use to extend the lease to the 15th since the girl on the lease is gone and now it is this guy?


Really appreciate your consideration, Happy New Year!
