Tenant wants to break lease early. One of the roomates moved out and they say they can't pay anymore. They have 5 months left on their 1 year lease. Should I try to take them to court/settle for something(when they probably don't have anything they can pay) or should I evict them now(currently late on rent) but they usually pay a few days late, but evicting them now basically means I give up the one month rent that are intending to pay, just to get them out asap so I can try and get new tenants in. In that case I think I'd give up the right to go after them for the rest though since I'd be the one kicking them out. But like I said, if I did go after them I don't know how likely it is I'd be able to get anything. The person who's going to re-rent it out for me suggested I evict them for those reasons when I spoke to them today.

Any advice?
