My tenants default repeatedly on the terms of the lease. They refuse to maintain the property in terms of shovelling snow and removing dog poop, along with dumping motor oil and keeping trash outside, which is a city ordinance violation. They have a continuing problem with prompt payment of rent and utilities and responding to written requests. They installed Direct TV and when they were informed that this was a default of the lease, the dish was removed. Recently a lawyer contacted me about dissolving the lease. This relieves me from having to evict them. My question is, are they financially responsible for the remaining 7 months of the lease and do I have to return their deposit?
