Hello, I leased my home to a family for 1 year, which they signed and moved in on 7-1-09. They notified me this week that they needed to terminate the lease early via email due to "personal reasons". I contacted my real estate agent, and it coincidentally happens that she sold this family a HOME and they will be closing and moving in the end of November, about 6 weeks from now. This puts me in a tough spot since the rental market stinks in NOV, and they were only in the place under 4 months. I would like to put the home on the market now for sale. Is their notice sufficient via email? Can I use this as the go ahead to start showing the property and either sell or release it? How soon can I make them vacate now that they are terminating early? My concern is that I show the home, get interest, then find out they did not close on their new home and decide to stay. This would put me in a position where I would not be able to get a new tenant / purchaser, as well as know that they will probably leave early at some point anyway the next time they find a home?
