Totally agree! I too was a landlord and trust me leases are to protect tenant. If you go to court the judge is going to ask them why they had to leave before the lease was up and they will have their story, true or not, and typically the judge will rule in their favor. Don’t be greedy and cut your losses. Hiring an attorney is a waste of time.and money. High season is coming and you will be much happier to let it go and find a new tenant. I would keep their deposit as they are not going to chase you in court either seeing that they breached your lease. They have already written that money off when they made the decision to leave before lease was up. Good luck!
