I have a tenant whose previous lease had an automatic renewal clause unless they gave me notice to not renew. I spoke with and emailed him many times, and he said he did want to stay another year. I sent him a new lease for his signature. He has decided to move in with someone, and about a month ago, asked me if I would let him out of the lease. I offered that we work together, and if I found a new tenant I would. I did not hear from him again for over 3 weeks. I emailed him and called him with no response. Then I spoke with him last week, and instead of being amicable, he said people he spoke with said he could just move out. He then said "there are issues with the house, including mold". I asked him why he had not told me that previously. He had no response. Today I received a letter from his attorney that states there is no lease renewal, and there is mold, he will be out in 30 days, and not to contact the tenant. What are my rights here? I have been very nice to this renter and gave him a very low rent amount because I thought he was a good person.
