Terminate earlier than that and they may try to claim your termination is retaliatory.These kind of tenants are always so annoying.

One thought might be ask agent or owner if their lease has a notice to terminate ( 30,60 or 90 day).

The tenant paid me rent in advance, but signed an Early Termination agreement 4 months after the lease was entered because I was going to evict them but gave them a way to end this amicably.

If the PM contract was terminated with the sale, then the funds should have been credited to you at closing.You should provide your tenant a notice that states you are the new LL and that rent is to be paid to you in the future and that you now have their security deposit.

I noticed we did not state in the lease that failure to pay was grounds for termination, only a negative report to the credit bureau.

Also there is a section in ours that says the agreement can be terminated with x amount of days notice.

Just be honest.Deception gets you nowhere long term in this business.The reality is in the markets lot's of buyers with real cash to play.

UPON RETURN OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT AS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED, AND BUYER AND SELLER SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ANY FURTHER OBLIGATION, EACH TO THE OTHER, IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

In the latter (West Van), I'd say you have nothing to worry about walking neighborhoods alone; in the former (that part of East Van), I'd suggest anyone (especially new to the area) would want a second pair of eyes to "watch their back".Same likely applies to lots of different areas of "Detroit"; some are bound to be great/safe/beautiful whilst others will be more "war zone" style - can't lump it all in to the same bucket :)As far as the airport itself though, can't imagine why it'd be a problem (I can't imagine any major US airport being a problem given how much law enforcement presence there is at all of them) - having flown there myself, it's plenty safe and fine with just the usual airport stuff to watch out for (folks who aren't authorized to provide taxi services trying to solicit in terminal for example or what not else).

If you are renting, why not terminate your lease and go the FHA route?
