Well this is a new one for me. I’ve tried looking up past questions and online searches but the situation is: I just signed a year lease with my new tenants on 1/12. The girl just messaged me today wanting to know if I could remove her boyfriend from the lease because they broke up and “things went south” I asked if he wanted out of the lease also to which she said no. They lived together a year at the house before mine and I talked to the landlord who told me he never had any problems.

I’m pretty sure I can’t take his name off just because she wants, especially since he isn’t wanting that. She is the only one of the 2 that works and makes 5 times the rent so that isn’t an issue. Because I almost had an issue with this a year ago I had put a clause in my lease that each tenant is responsible for rent the whole rent period even if one moves out. If one wants to move out once lease is month to month, both must agree to it. It’s only been literally 6 days... Advice ?

If bf is released from ease, he no longer has right to live there.

Thats all that gf has to gain from bf's release.

You have nothing to gain from release.

Tell them that they rented the dwelling together, now its up to them to settle their mutual living arrangement by themselves.

This is why I only put

Do you have a lease termination clause in your lease? I recommend getting one if you don't. Mine says the lease can be terminated with payment of two months rent. Were I in your situation, I'd tell boyfriend he signed a legal contract and if he wants out of it, he pays two months rent. Otherwise, he's legally responsible (joint and several, ie, individual liability) for the entire lease and all of its terms until the lease ends - even if he doesn't live there anymore.
