Jeremy: did you ever invest in Warner Robbins and how was the result? I've heard decent things regarding vacancy rates and population trends. I'd also be an out of town investor. 

Without going into the crazy details of a co-tenant scenario: I would like to release a co-tenant of a single family residence investment property in Florida. Can I release the financial responsibility and allow a co-tenant to leave without the permission of the remaining co-tenant?

it's a crazy situation and all escalated during my two week trip out west! But a bizarre scenario, co-tenants in a single family residence. They knew each other before and then everything went south between them. I'd be willing to end the lease, but one of the tenants gives the impression will hold on as long as possible and is willing to use an attorney to help in that process. Good times!

I'm trying to search for clarity on releasing a tenant in a co-tenant arrangement in a single family residence. Is it as simply as the landlord and one tenant agreeing to the release? Sounds like a promising idea, thank you!

so I'm stuck where I don't see a violation of the lease, my fear is being left with the difficult tenant and the potential damages that could be caused.

significant fighting between the two. I've stayed out of it for that reason, however one tenant has hired an attorney who is claiming violation of quiet enjoyment and it is my landlord responsibility to provide that. They're going to fight to get the lease nullified. The issue is the second tenant, where the tenants disputes have arrived, will likely do everything possible to cling to the property without paying. 

I have a rental property in Brandon, Florida, the suburbs of Tampa, FL. I have co-tenants who are disputing, both have hired attorneys. Any recommendation of a reputable attorney in the area?

Thank you for the recommendations!

Seeking quick guidance:

I've had a good tenant for a year, who brings in an old friend to be a roommate. Given the history of the good tenant, I start a new lease with both individuals signing the lease, valid February 2016 to February 2017.

Enter tenant to tenant dispute and I would love advice. This is in Florida, In three hours from boarding a plane across to the Southwest U.S. (great timing).

Tenant 1 (longer-term tenant), complains of difficulties, verbal arguments, and wants the newer Tenant 2to leave (I found out today, Tenant 2 verbally agreed to pay Tenant 1 a portion of the rent payment with Tenant 1 paying the full amount to me). Tenant 1 leaves an "eviction notice" telling Tenant 2 to leave at the end of the month. They don't have a formal arrangement and together they are not in violation with the lease (paying on-time etc). Thus this is an invalid document, which Tenant 2 gives to attorney, who reaches out to me, letting me know this is invalid.

That's where we are: two tenants, whom are having significant arguments and difficulties, but at this point at valid on the lease.

1) What should I do?

2) What should I let Tenant 1 know? I presume, at least let her know she might want to get an attorney as well, since Tenant 2 has brought one in?

3) How else to resolve this scenario.

I spoke with both tenants on the phone. Both have great animosity towards each other. My gut (which only means so much), tells me that tenant 2 is looking for a free ride and will do everything to not leave the property. That leaves Tenant 1 with the dilemma to leave and violate the lease (at least for her). It doesn't seem like both tenants staying will be a solution!

Hopefully I can get some advice, but for two weeks I'm supposed to be hiking National Parks of the Southwest!!! Thank you all!

Great, thank you all for your responses. This has been extremely helpful and I'll check out the other thread as well! Jason
