Basically, a compromise.Here's the article I found on PA law on tenants breaking leases:http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tenants-rig...

Option 1 is a new construction about 1500 sq ft and is common cookie cutter construction with a park and community pool a few homes away.

Here's a good article on tenants breaking leases in TX:http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tenants-rig...It says you don't have to kill yourself to rent the place right away.  

From this page:  http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tenants-rig...Landlord’s Duty to Find a New Tenant in Vermont"Landlords in most states (for example, Arizona) must make a reasonable effort to re-rent their units when a tenant breaks a lease, rather than charge the tenant for the total remaining rent due under the lease.

thanks joe and nicole. it's hypothetical.the yard is maybe 150 fenced sqft. so its a little manual non-gas powered push mower and/or those electric grass cutters with string. we just keep them in the storage for tenant, but i just dont want the liability.

., related to finding a replacement.http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tenants-rig...And, by the way - someone who is "going to marry" someone in the military - is not married to them yet.  

A friend of mine just added another lawn cutting rig to his fleet .

Some references:Scroll down to ""Landlord’s Duty to Find a New Tenant in Texas"http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/tenants-rig...According to this article, you need to check your lease to see if you need to give 30 days notice on the first of the month.  

I'd also give them notice that they have to give you keys/combination or you'll be bringing bolt cutters.

If not now, then at time of renewal next year.And yes, landlording is hard, no easy cookie cutter solution for everything.
