I think he was perfectly justified in removing the plants, but should have done so before he wound up screwing the innocent new tenants who probably can't break the contract unless it specifically includes the plants. By delaying, he's basically handing the landlord a check from the new people.

Ehhh I don't really care about this. Landlords are categorically exploitative leeches, so this pales in comparison to the day-to-day activities of the landlord.

Besides, he should remove the plants whenever it was convenient for him. I'm not going to dictate the "should'ves" in this situation. They're his damn plants.

My husband had plants at the last house we rented, and we basically had to wait until the weather was right and we were just about ready to relocate before he removed and replanted them.

Why remove the plants until you have a new home to move them to?
