I include the following in a Landlord Addendum to all my Leases: The provision generally summarizes provisions contained in the basic TAR Lease along with a few other stipulations:Early Termination of Lease: (Reference Paragraph 28 – Basic Lease) Tenants may terminate this lease at any time under the following conditions: (1) Tenants are responsible for the lease payments until the Contracted Lease Expiration Date (Paragraph 3 of Basic Lease), or New Tenant(s) ACCEPTABLE to Landlord Are Approved, and any Security Deposits and First Month’s Rent has been received. (2) Tenants will pay 100% of one month’s lease amount if the Termination Date is more than 60 Days prior to the Lease Expiration Date (Paragraph 3 of The Basic Lease), (3) Tenants will pay any and all expenses incurred (such as Utilities, Lawn Care, Re-Leasing Fees, etc.) while the property is Vacant.

Sad thing is, this was the NEW unit and NEW theft-prevention cage that the seller had installed because the prior unit was stolen as well.While we the seller and I had made it amicably through all of the inspection and repair processes, this recent additional theft of the AC unit has made me want to back away.Now - in what is very frustrating and heartbreaking - the seller is refusing to sign the "release from contract" form, refusing to allow the return of my earnest money, and is also asking that I compensate him $500 for the AC cage.

Bigger Pockets just released a new book called "Finding and Funding Great Deals" by Anson Young.  

In addition, tenant should be paying those fees and signing a release of lease as, otherwise, you could rent it out again only to have him say he still has a valid lease and right to be there until lease end as there was no eviction or release.  

If you chose to use the escrowed amount in a deal of your own then you wold be released from using the escrowed funds into my deal but if you needed coaching through your deal then I would charge $1,250 if requested to do so.

@James Peters The IRS for the federal lien must be handled with the process of typing a letter and sending it to the technical advisory management group who handles the releasing of the IRS liens. 

Residential Lease Agreement revision we just released in June, you may benefit from the protection recent language we just added in the event the tenant has not violated the lease, but was not truthful on his original application:41.

It only releases that individual's interests in the property.
