Does the lease call for an early termination option?

I charge when there is a violation of the lease (unauthorized tenant or pet, late rent, failure to maintain lawn, etc), when a tenant request is going to cost me extra time (adding or removing a tenant to the lease), or when the tenant wants to deviate from the agreement (early termination).

Only problem is since its a non-payment eviction, he was able to pay all his dues and my court fees right on the spot, so i had to accept it seems.. so i will have to evict him another way, most likely a 30 day notice to quit so his lease gets terminated end of May, and he again doesnt pay file another eviction for may.Not a good experience overall, court filings, actions take weeks.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

As of this past week, he gave that property management company notice that he would not be using their services after the termination of this lease.

The lease agreement that I use for my properties in Georgia has a early termination clause that states the penalty for early termination and it still requires the tenant to give a 60 day notice.  

We agreed upon an under the table type thing since it was off MLS and I signed a termination contract?)

Month to month leases can terminate for cause at any time, so it's not like trying to evict a tenant mid-lease.
