If is not your job to referee the crappy the way that people live these days.

What do you tell the ex-girlfriend, like G said, that she is still on the lease and the last tenant out will get the deposit or not. It will depend on the repairs, damages and cleaning that needs to be done plus any back rent. So, she may end up with a bill and a court date instead of a refund. But take a good address from here because when you ask for damages or need to evict the lot of them, she can be named in the action. Contracts exist for a reason. They are more than a pinky swear.

Thank you for your advice both parties ask me to remove the tenant that left but even if we do an addendum with a new tenant u think the tenant who left should to stay in contract.

I have already explained that it is not your responsibility to referee in the lives of those who rent from you. Neither of the parties ask you about the wisdom of their kind of living arrangement but not they want you to sort it out because it has become a problem for them and you. Never remove anyone from a lease. As I told you, contracts exist for a reason. Rental contracts exist to protect you financially. How is it going to help you to let one party to the contract off from their financial responsibility to you for the contract year? Are you going to rearrange your business affairs every time your tenant rearranges his "affairs?" Never remove any party to a lease before it expires. Never refund any deposit money before the expiration of the lease. If who gets the deposit becomes a problem you should make out the deposit to both parties. What will you do if you remove this person and the boyfriend kicks out the current girlfriend and the old girlfriend comes back and is now off the lease. Again, it is not your duty to referee in these kinds of living arrangements. You should have made this clear on the first phone call from the girlfriend. Where she lives during the lease period is simply not your problem. And, it is especially not your problem that she has lease money tied up. Tell the boyfriend to get his girlfriend out now. Serve him a cure or quit and proceed with an eviction against all parties. The longer you let this go on, the worse it will get. You are the property owner. Step up and take control. Stop letting your tenants run you business.
