If not, and he can't find a suitable tenant that YOU APPROVE OF, he is responsible for the balance of the lease.Nancy Neville

You are in control of the situation as the current agreement allows you to stay until June 30 @Joe GoreI have no idea where in Texas she is located but in Austin where occupancy in 95% plus locating a place at the end of May when school is ending would be very difficult and I would expect to be compensated IF I could find a suitable property

Too many horror stories about perfectly fine investment properties being run into the ground even though mgmt is sending glowing updates to owners only to find out their property has been completely neglected and is in disrepair when they make the trip out to visit or decide to sell years later.Regardless of which market you and your partner end up in, I highly recommend checking references for vendors, contractors, agents, management, etc. with as many local on the ground sources as possible to verify that you are doing business with the best.Cheers and best of luck on your acquisition of your duplex/fourplex in the near future!
