Forum / State Landlord Tenant Law / tenant breaking a lease question
I have a question about a tenants lease. I rented out a unit in Texas that has a swimming pool at peak season. THe individual paid a higher price than we were asking at the time since we were in a bidding war and they decided to pay a premieum to rent this unit and they signed a two year lease w/higher rental rate. Once they moved in they had a job transfer and had to move out two months later breaking there lease. I tried to find someone to take over their lease and was unsucessful.Can I charge them the differece legally in the premium that they paid now that I cannot rent it for that amount? I did have someone move in at a lower rate since its not peak season.

RE: tenant breaking a lease question
if they break the lease they are legally responsible for rent until you find new tenants or the end of the lease, whichever comes first
