I called Zillow and they told me they don't handle lease cancellation or changes but suggested to contact local attorney (I am in Texas/Austin). a) Take some penality and allow tenant to break the lease. b) take re-letting fees, list the house again and current tenant is bound to honor until it gets leased.For both a) and b) I will still have to contact attorney as Zillow does not let me cancel the lease but only mark the lease cancelled once it is done.
