The contractor gave me a good price, I paid him 350 for material and 500 for labor to get started and the remaining balance of $700 would be paid on completion.2 days into the work he called me and said his brother was murdered and he could no longer finish the job.

All other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.That sounds like If i don't sign a new agreement or accept money from the tenant, I don't have to keep renting to the tenant.https://www.rentprep.com/leasing-questions/lease-renewal-notices/This website backs me up.

Using Eamonn's scenario it might be worth mentioning that the remaining $46k worth of loss does carryforward to future years. 

The first solution is to allow the daughter to continue paying the lease with the understanding that the tenant who is currently responsible, would remain responsible until the end of the lease.

We pay lawn service on the other remaining 6 months.

Hi Dream Board of Landlords👋For the Multi-units property (here 19) if the avg rents are ~$650/mo and 3 units are empty for few months: ➡️ What kind of incentives may I offer for potential new tenants so they willingly choose my property❓And I will fill all the remaining units and enjoy 100% value of income😀

Out of the remaining areas.

Did you pay cash for the $129,000 purchase price, or use a loan for the remaining amount?

@Marisa RoweYes Marisa he should still expect some maintenance but in the condo it would mostly be water heater/ac and kitchen appliances divided by remaining useful life.

You would need to have a "reasonable use" clause so that they remain on the hook for any excess power that is purchased from the utility.
