Should You Allow Your Atlanta Tenants To Break Their Leases?

System - Wednesday, September 9, 2020


Do you have an Atlanta tenant who informed you that they want to break their lease? If so, the reality is that even though it's inconvenient, there are certain situations in which a landlord should allow their tenant to break their lease including the following:


Military Orders


The first situation in which a landlord should allow their tenant to break their lease is if the tenant is in the military and they have received new orders which will transfer them, or activate them quickly. 


In this case, you should without a doubt allow your tenant to break their lease, especially if they're being transferred to a base that's more than one hour away from where your rental property is located. 


Job Transfer


Another situation where you should consider allowing your tenant to break their lease is if the company that they work for has transferred them out of state.


Even though it's inconvenient, you should not hesitate to allow your tenant to break their lease if they've been transferred out of state because it's no fault of their own, and they cannot realistically continue living in your rental property if they physically have to be working for a company that's located in another state.


Job Loss


Let's say that your tenant has lost their job, if this is the case, it's another reason that you should consider allowing them to break their lease. 


Yes, letting your tenant out of their lease may be temporarily inconvenient for you but, the good news is that you can have the property in rent ready condition very quickly and rent it out to another tenant In no time at all.


Besides the examples that we've given you, some other situations where you should consider allowing your tenant to break their leases include if your tenant was recently divorced, diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, is trying to move away from the potentially abusive spouse, or is a tenant that’s causing trouble to neighbors or other tenants in your building.
