Premium increases are necessary to recoup some of their losses and remain solvent. 

One tenant moved out the other remained and signed a month to month lease beginning the first of the month.  

Even with the planned increase, they will remain below.

However, I am on holiday the 4th in France so I won't be able to attent if the date will remain..

Those are out of pocket (spelled C..A..S..H) expenses, which are a cost that adds to the remaining recovery cost, and extends the recovery period.  

Springfield remains a very active market.

So initially I proposed only a 5 year increase knowing that I did not want to have a 10 year lease with rent so low especially if I go to sell the building - it would be an unattractive investment.The new partner proposed to have no increase in the first year, then $50 after every year for the remaining 10 years. 

So if someone can demonstrate you had no intention to close (as, for example, by demonstrating you had no ABILITY to close) you have no interest, and nothing you can sell without brokering.But in any case, it remains true in many contexts that specific enabling legislation, and rules promulgated under it, is going to trump general provisions of the common law of contracts.  

C/E shop, I’m with Samson and have been very happy, just a word of caution, it’s gonna run about 2k-3k a year just to pay for all your subscribers, mls, sentry etc, I suspect these will be going up substantially as a result of the agents leaving the industry, meaning the need to get more from the remaining, if you get your license make sure you have a use for it, like you will either have a decent client base and/or you are doing your own deals & will save money that way.

I'd also set up regular inspections of the home and if the lease states that the camera must remain active and in place, then use that as her breaking the lease to get her out.
