Re: Tenants broken lease rent owed.

Except that it is doubtful that the tenant would ever actually pay the six months of rent for breaking a lease early. The mention of two months' rent being a standard lease-breaking fee is new to me, unless you put that in your lease (which is a good idea). Personally, when this "lease breaking/can I leave early" issue arises, I just work with the tenants and let them leave early. I don't get deposit debates. The tenants appreciate it and so far I have been fortunate. I see the "holding them to the lease term" definitely as a commercial lease issue and also residential hard-to-rent units.

As per many posts on this forum over the years, a local judge is more apt to award two months rent to a LL for a broken lease. They will not consider six months because most likely you have re-rented the place after two months and you cannot double dip. It is a good idea to put this in your lease if you have this problem. I rent primarily to military so I have had to break leases several times under the SCRA law.
