I would re-read your lease.

Now, re-read that last sentence.

If you haven't done so already I recommend reading/rereading Brandon and Heather Turners book on managing rental properties!

Please reread your own post.

Maybe then he'll re-read it and decide it's not so bad after all.

On a separate issue, I paid for the dryer vent cleaning a few months ago even though the lease specifically says the tenant is responsible for dryer vent cleaning after re-reading the lease.

Please reread my post:"Just curious how much tax you would pay if you sold it today.

Hello Mackaylee, Books that have and continue to fire me up, even when I reread them:1. 10X Rule - Grant Cardone 2.

Double check that by re-rereading your lease, checking with local (Texas) laws or law forums, and then calmly inform your tenants using cordial (not legal) language in an email and/or on the phone.Also tell them you are willing to let them stop paying if and when you get a new tenant that meets reasonable standards as a responsible tenant who can afford the property so that they do not need to continue paying for a rental property they are not inhabiting.If they threaten to take you to court of course you can calmly let them know that that's their choice, if they want to attempt this, but ultimately this might backfire on them if the court determines they'd be liable for the whole year of the lease.Basically just remain calm and let them know you're willing to work with them to help them out of the situation if they're not happy with the property, but ultimately just as they need to live, so do you.

Read, then re-read Chapter 92 of the Texas Property Code.
