Tenants Breaking Lease
My tenants informed me that they want to break one-year lease after only 3 months citing personal reasons and bad planning. Which would leave me with a vacant apartment in December. I hold one month security deposit but it seems to me that wouldn’t be enough to cover my loses and a headache.

I would advertise no fee by owner of course but also give it to a few brokers and use the security deposit to pay the fee for a lease starting 12/15-1/1. RENT it in december; do not, under any circumstances, let it go unrented into January because Jan is the start of “nothing doing” season and that sticks around until April.
I’m actually interested in renting a 2-bedroom apartment, preferably in Park Slope or Windsor Terrace, beginning either 1/1/10 or 2/1/10. Ground floor preferable but not necessary. Any landlords out there, if you have anything please contact me at presto1972@live.com.
Snowbunny and blowfish,
We have a 1BR in prime Prospect Heights available from Dec 1. It’s newly renovated with w/d in unit, beautiful original mantelpiece and wainscotting, and brand new everything–wood floors, eat-in-kitchen with ss appliances (incl. dishwasher) and bathroom with radiant heated floor. It’s on the ground floor of a beautiful brownstone (no garden access). Rent is $1880. Email me at 3bestboys@gmail.com for more info. Thanks.
I have alot of tenants breaking leases over the years. i never ever charged any one of them. its just easier to let them go and take anything farther to court etc.. waste of your time etc..
its always easy to find replacements.
OK, sounds nice but nevermind– I think they’re looking for something about $2K, even if its tiny. Just the hubby working. Thanks anyway.
The apt. is in Central Slope, nice block. It’s two bedroom plus office, very elegant, thoroughly renovated with some original details. Current tenants are paying 2850.00.
Where is the apt? I know a couple that is looking to rent in Brooklyn for Dec. 1. They are coming from England so I’m helping with the hunt. Maybe we could talk offline.
Hi, Even if they have money.. you really don’t want a tenant who doesn’t want to be there. it’s just a headache. Let them do all the leg work and you just screen in the end like I and a few others have said. Better to have someone that wants to be there in there IMO.
I would let them be squatters
