Really, I have to agree with Greg on this one, as far as it being easy to deny them, and from my personal experience, it's worth the gamble.  

Or, the Landlord can take possession and charge them rent until he finds a new tenant.Requiring giving the tenant the choice of a termination fee or gambling on the other landlord options, is actually a tenant-friendly move for FL.  

People who earn their living from gambling, for instance, tend to spend a little differently that people receiving child support, alimony, social security, etc.  

A 720 probably would have got me a slightly better rate, but I didn't want to wait and gamble with the market if rates went back up higher.

Some of us have done well in California, not by gambling or being stupid, but by picking up bargains when they present themselves and sitting the market out when there are no deals to be had.  

Hi @Federico Cantero,If your deal does not cash flow from the very start, what you are doing is speculating (gambling), not investing.

They don't get to now wish they had chosen the other option, because now it would have been the better option, had they been able to see into their crystal ball.Anyway, if you did the lease right, and they chose the early termination fee, you're free to keep the money they agreed to pay, and go on vacation.

But, they didn't take advantage of this and they weren't just going gambling and then not paying their rent :-)

You are gambling with having to pay double damages.

You are taking a gamble on what path their life takes in the future knowing the likely out come if it goes bad.
