Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I have a tenant who wanted to break her lease, and I am more than happy to let her go.
I have a new person that would like to move in, but still don't have a firm date on when the current tenant is going to be out.
Should I get the keys from them before I sign the new tenant?
Or, can I/should I have them sign a date that they will be out? Any forms for that?
Thanks!

RE: Tenant breaking lease
You can permit a tenant to vacate a lease early if it is a mutual agreement. This web-site does have a form for that. I always allow a few weeks to get the rental unit ready for the next occupant, which also gives me time if they do not leave early or on time. It is up to you if you want ot sign the new tenant on or not. It is always a chance whether it is at the end of a lease or a mutual agreed ending of a lease.
