I have owned and managed a commercial building w/4 suites for 35 years. Over those years, I have had a small number of tenants that have had to move out early for one reason or the other. Normally, I let them out of their lease but keep the security deposit. I try to be there on their last day to wish them well, shake hands and part as friends. Over all those years I have only had to kick one guy out for non payment of rent. There is no reason to be a grinch! Good luck on your day in court!
