Tenant will vacate if another room is rented.

What is the name of your state? Texas

I am a live in landlord in a 3 bedroom home. I have rented out one room along with the bathroom and things have been fine. I recently brought it to her attention that I am contemplating renting out the other room. She has no objections if it was a guy, but if it is a girl she says she can't stay, she couldn't tolerate two women under one roof. Now the contract doesn't stipulate anything regarding renting the other room nor does it touch upon future tenants or the possibility of renting out the other room. If I move forward with this she says she will have to move. Basically breach the contract. From my point of view as the landlord I technically didn't even have to bring it to her attention, I could have just done it. Maybe I'm off base. So basically my question is....can an tenant up and leave if the land lord wishes to rent the other room?

**A: no, but keep the peace and rent the room to a guy.

Does the lease specify she gets full use of the bathroom or she only gets to share it? If the new tenant will be sharing her bathroom, I'd say your lucky if she will tolerate anyone doing that.
