Pool Maintenance List

pool maintenance list
As a landlord what can i do here?

I rented out a house i own to 3 people a couple and their friend. now the friend wants to back out of their year long lease(it has only been 3 months) this third person as always paid thier rent late. she is stating a list of things that are lies. ie, the house was unsanitary when she moved, my possesions were still in the house when she moved in( meaning the dinner table and patio furniture, which i asked them if they wanted and they said they did) and that the pool maintenance was not be provided(which it is) what should i do in this position. should i sue her? i live in orlando, fl if there is anyone out there who knows flordia’s legal system. THANX!!! enjoy the 10 points, whoever gives me some much needed good advice!

You say “their year long lease”, so I’m assuming all 3 people signed a lease, including the one who wants out. Unless you agree to remove that individual who wants to leave from the lease, all three of the tenants are responsible for fulfilling the lease whether that one individual leaves or not. Unless the lease specifically states that each individual will be responsible for only a third of the obligations of the lease (which I doubt), all three tenants are on the hook, legally.

Make sure the other two tenants understand that you expect payment in full and on time every month, regardless of whether one of the three has left. Their recourse, if they must cover that 3rd individuals portion of the rent, is to sue that person for any shortfall.

Perhaps a suggestion that the two remaining people look for another roommate is in order, especially if it is clear that they would have difficulty covering the rent on their own.

In any event, the lease is on all three of them…whether they are living there or not…til the expiration of the lease.

Good Luck!
