Thanks Kathryn :)

I do realise there is a risk to this Peter, and I'll relax completely when it works out. The house is immaculate, and I cannot imagine any issues other than maybe it needing a final mop. He's only been there less than three months and it is cleaner than my own house. If I didn't really like...

He is paying a break lease fee of one week's rent as per the lease he signed, but had he stuck to the date HE chose, that would be limit of his out-of-pocket expenses. If the tenants who were happy to take it from the day after his choice of move out date can push back their leaving date, I...
