QUESTION

tenant wants to break lease

Asked on Sep 14th, 2015 on Residential Real Estate - California
More details to this question:
My tenant wants to break lease because he says that there were gun shots that took place on the street that the house backs up. The house is in a gated community, and the shots took place outside of the gate. Does he have a ground to break lease? Can we have him be responsible for the rent until we replace with new tenant?

The right of the tenant to move depends on what the rental agreement says.  If month to month, then the tenant can give a 30 day notice.  If on a lease, the tenant is responsible for the rent and associated costs until you get a new tenant.
