Forum / Leasing Issues / breach of lease
I have a tenant that failed to give me a 60 day notice prior to moving out ,as specified in our lease.... and they also want to get out of the lease early. Are they responsible to pay until i find someone else? also curious if the security deposit can be held as they broke the lease im going to be as fair as i possibly can be....but i am curious what the law in pennsylvania allows

RE: breach of lease
Tenant is responsible for rent until the end of the lease term or whenever you find a new tenant, whichever comes first. You will want to make sure you are looking for your new tenants and not just waiting until the term ends. You want there to be proof that you are searching.

If not in your current lease, consider including......if tenant breaks lease they will be charge a 1/2 months rent as penalty & pay cost to find new tenant. Always check with State law.
