Tenant Wants To Break The Lease
I have signed a lease with a tenant in september for one year in Florida. I have received an email from the tenant informing me that they are buying a house and moving out next mounth after only 4 months into the lease. There is no early termination clause on the lease and tenant is liable for the rent to the end of lease if they break it. What are my options? This is very unfair under current market conditions. If I sue the tenant what is my chance to recover the rent for whole term of the lease or until I rent the house. thanks

Can I put a lien on the house they own now for the amount of money they owe and get paid when they sell the house?
Re: Tenant Wants To Break The Lease
You must first go to court and get a judgment and then you can record that judgment in the county they own the house in and place a lien on it. You first need to go to court to formalize the actual debt.
FYI...if you did not send the security deposit accounting within the time frame required by your state...you risk being countersued and losing. Did you send the accounting?
