Early lease termination - tenant complaint
24 June 2016 | 5 replies
Since the clause of the first option calls it "Liquidation Damage and Termination Fee", my attorney also told me I am within my rights to take all that money and there is no double dipping because it is not a "Lost rent" but a "penalty".So yes bottom line I have the right to take impose a penalty which is two months worth and they signed on the dotted line.Typically, I have been very understanding and if I do find a replacement tenant I will refund the difference IF the circumstances around the move is one I can relay to...like a job transfer, a parent is sick, getting married, etc etc etc and the tenant has been good about it.
