Thanks all, @Jon's - your reply is terrific. That is the purpose of lease as it is a binding agreement.

I will do this and notify the tenant once it is rented.

Thanks to all others.

Regards.

Thanks @George and @Michael.

I am in agreement with this. I don't want unhappy tenants either. I offered them initially that I will keep $200 for inconvenience as well as cost of turning away other renters These guys turned up to harassment and threatened they will call lawsuit on me etc. When I asked to send me a letter that they wanted to cancel their lease, they won't do that either, despite offering multiple ways in which they could send the letter.

So at this point, they want nothing but full deposit and I am not sure what grounds they may have to get their money back. So I want to ascertain that if legally I am obligated to.

I have also send letter of abandonment by certified mail. I want to pay them back due amount if I can get a new tenant, as long they are willing to cooperate. I believe after 5 days of sending letter of abandonment, I am entitled to re-rent the place, regardless of how I settle with them.

Again, greatly appreciate your responses.

Hi

I have a tenant who wants to back away from lease after signing it just after two days.

Do they have any grounds?

Thanks

Also, what constitutes documentation? For example, does sending email, voice mails, texts are all considered good?

I don't have references like that from previous LL, except rent was paid.

Per this link, it doesn't look like I am required to give a 2 day *written notice* If I have verbally told over the phone, is that considered sufficient?

Thanks again.

Thanks all. They have a telephone, but are insisting that we provide a written notice (this in Az)

Hi

I have a tenant, who hasn't paid there deposit fully, and claims that they don't have access to email and texting and so every time when I have to schedule something to fix - I need to send them letters and correspond that way. Knowing that written exchanges take several days and then it is impossible to pick a window and then communicate back and forth that way, could someone help me with what I could do?

Thanks
Anl

Yes, thanks John. Link would be great.

These are things, which are important in my experience:
- ask for references (3 tenants, 3 owners - call 2 of each and ask them about the property manager, not just if he is good, but more if he always get repairs done fast and well, if he is doing repairs too often and if they cost too much, how long it took for renting the place out etc.)
- ask for minimum trip charges (in one company I found out that there is minimum $70 trip charge - so even if they spent 10 minutes in the property, I will pay at least $80)
- ask if the fees are paid also when the property isn't rented (that's not very good)
- ask about their advertising techniques (sometimes it's overpaid for what you get, and better you can advertise by yourself on craigslist or something)
- ask if they handle eviction for you and how much they charge

That's all I can think of now. I wrote once article on my blog about it, I can send you the link.
