I have a tenant with a signed lease who has not moved in, can I break lease before she moves in? Home rental?

probably not legally or ethically, but you could tell them that you checked your water bill for the final cost and it was huge. You found out that there was a plumbing leak and that their will be a lot of repairs and the wait time could be a while due to the parts and labor. Tell them that when you get an estimated time for them you will let them know. Then in about 2 days tell them it is undeterminable and they may want to start looking for something else and that you will give them all their money back and you are sorry for the trouble. You could tell them that the plumbing and foundation people told you that there is electical and structural damage and you aren't sure when you will be able to get it fixed. Hope this helps.Good luck:-)I have a tenant with a signed lease who has not moved in, can I break lease before she moves in? Home rental?
From my understanding, Once the lease is signed it is a contract. If she violates any of the terms of the lease then you could break the lease but technically you would be in the wrong. You stated she is very demanding...perhaps there are certain items you can firmly tell her is not acceptable and she will choose to break the lease herself. How much time has passed since the signing of the lease and the moving in part? Also did she pay a security deposit yet? All these can be a factor if you try to break the lease.

As long as she pays rent, she's meeting the terms of the lease. If she stops paying rent be sure to send her a written notice of eviction just as you would if she were actually living there. Surely you have a copy of state laws re landlord/tenant agreements?





Why don't you give her a call? Ask her if she still plans to move in; if not ask her if she would be willing for the two of you to sign a stmt revoking the lease agreement.
No, once the lease is signed, you can't break it without a lot of problems, fees, and penalties.
No you have to honor that lease and can not break it with out a long legal battle even if they do something wrong.
You have a signed contract that you must honor or they could tell you ';see ya'; in a court of law.
No unless it say she can on the lease
