My tenant is breaking the 1 year lease contract by moving out 5 months before the lease ends (has a new job out of state) and does not want to pay rent for the last month (and remaining time of the lease). He knows that legally, he needs to pay the rest of the rent. Should I sue him or try to get to an agreement?
You can do either, Sue him or negotiate a buy out. Calling his new landlord or job will not be helpful and might subject you to unfair debt collection claims.
