<p class="MsoNormal">Craig: in those shoes client should just do it. I can’t see any judge granting lessor any unpaid rent because tenant had to go to assisted living. That assumes the lessor doesn’t hold a bunch of money belonging to tenant, and that tenant
doesn’t need physical help from landlord to actually move.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, I seem to recall a provision in one of the moratoriums that allowed tenants to break their lease and vacate without penalty. I may be mistaken and I do not see such a provision in the current version. Anyone know of a provision
that allows a tenant to break the lease? My facts are an elderly person is renting a portion of a house and for health reasons needs to move to assisted living. Landlord refuses to allow her out of the lease term. Thanks in advance.
