     Tenant will vacate if another room is rented.

     Does the lease specify she gets full use of the bathroom or she only gets to share it? If the new tenant will be sharing her bathroom, I'd say your lucky if she will tolerate anyone doing that.

     Need some help with lease break situation, please.

      Landlord lied about gas on premises

      In most places electric heat is WAY more expensive than gas. It seems strange that a landlord would lie about having electric when that would generally be considered a disadvantage compared to gas.
