TERMINATION.All keys must be surrendered at time of vacating or rent will continue at a daily rate until keys arereturned.

In Massachusetts the deal is usually the defendant (husband in this case) isn't allowed contact and must stay away within a certain amount of feet, something like 1000 feet. many times the judge has the defendant surrender keys but It all depends on what the judge says. like others have said it really has nothing to do with you and she may even have protection from you throwing her out.

We had to get an emergency plumber and cleaning crew in to stop the running water and damage.We mailed them a 15 day notice to get their property off ours since they surrendered keys with a handwritten note of intent to file bankrupty.

Should I have the lady sign any documents stating she is surrendering the property and terminating tenancy at will?

There are surrender fees should you decide to get out and they can be very large.

so I surrender it to God and move forward.I really don't feel much negativity toward him.  

</p><p>(d) A landlord who fails either to return a security deposit or to provide a written description and itemization of deductions on or before the 30th day after the date the tenant surrenders possession is presumed to have acted in bad faith.

I've been able to track down the owner of record who informs me that the property was surrendered back to the Lender (Wells Fargo) via a personal bankruptcy and that they have no ownership of nor are they interested in the property.  

It is further agreed that in the event said Tenant, prior to the expiration of this Agreement, or any renewal thereof, vacate, abandon, or surrender the premises at any time during the tenancy then the Landlord will have the right to enter the premises by use of key or by force, if necessary, for the purpose of decorating or repairing said premises so that it may be put in habitable and proper condition for occupancy by a prospective or another Tenant, without being liable to prosecution therefore or damages by reason hereof and without relieving the Tenant of any obligations to pay the rent for said premises.This would be great, but he has a dog and I'm risking one of my team getting bit.

The option to terminate arises at the later of: the last day of the second calendar month that follows the calendar month in which the tenant died or upon surrender of the rental unit and removal of all of the tenant's personal property.
