What can be a consequence of lease termination for a property owner?

The potential financial loss from vacancy is a significant consequence of lease termination for a property owner. When a tenant vacates, the property owner faces a gap in rental income until a new tenant occupies the space. During this vacancy period, the owner may still be responsible for ongoing expenses such as property taxes, maintenance, utilities, and mortgage payments without any rental income to offset those costs. This financial strain can be particularly pronounced if the property remains unoccupied for an extended time while the owner searches for a new tenant or undertakes necessary repairs or renovations to attract potential renters.

While the other options may seem plausible in different contexts, they do not capture the immediate and pressing financial ramifications that come from losing a tenant and the resulting vacancy.
