This is a fairly common situation.On whether you should "let him go" or not, the question is, are you going to hold him to the terms of your lease regarding early termination or release him without further rent or early termination obligation. 

It might be grounds for termination of the lease.Personally if I saw the condition was that bad I would try to negotiate an early lease termination.

If they fail the second inspection, I terminate their lease and remove them as quickly as the law allows.

We have offered they can terminate their lease at no penalty charge because frankly they complain a lot and are unhappy with the residence.

My list includes - last 2 years employment history and current employment [2 paystubs], criminal checks, eviction checks, No Pets, No smoking, tenant pays utilities, maintains landscape, no subleasing, bring own washer & dryer, 1 month security deposit and transfer of utilities before moving in, rental insurance, all occupants will be on lease, notice period of 2 months for termination, tenant references, No cosigners, no painting walls, late fee notice, any hoa fines should be paid by tenant, inspection of property at 3, 9 and 12 months.Please let me know if I am missing anything.3.

On a pure investment scale a mid term or short term in the midwest (omaha, KC, etc..) may net you better returns.

If the tenant was to leave they have two month penalty as part of the early termination, but it is hard to find a tenant after October until March as people move during the spring and summer time.

We offer our residents the option to terminate their agreement with just 2 weeks notice.

It may seem harsh to terminate her tenancy, but they are in an emotional time and "comfort of home" may feel better now.
