“Your landlady has chosen not to renew your lease why haven’t you moved”.

I'm using their copy: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/06/10...I would agree about not contacting the tenant prior to closing, however, I have chosen to in my situation.

Also, knowing there are so many applicants, what if someone offered us a higher rent to be chosen for the vacancy?

Provide a clause that states any price differences from not using your chosen contractor will be at their expense.What services do you or your contractor not want to handle?

It's legal, and it was the option they chose.They could have always chosen to move in and not lost any money.  

If you think it sucks to raise a tenants rent you may want to reconsider the business you have chosen to be in.

I have chosen to pick up a mold test kit from hd.

They don't get to now wish they had chosen the other option, because now it would have been the better option, had they been able to see into their crystal ball.Anyway, if you did the lease right, and they chose the early termination fee, you're free to keep the money they agreed to pay, and go on vacation.

They can be responsible for getting the half from the other person.I have had applicants in exactly the same situation many times and I have always chosen not to rent to them.

but didn't get chosen.
