Landlord Question and Answer Forum
I had a tenant sign a 1 year lease, after 5 months they moved out and broke the remainder of there lease. A 1 month (30) notice was not given by tenant either. How do I go about collecting rent and damamges done to my property??

You may want to hire an attorney or bill collector that will prob get around 50% of the total collection but, better than nothing. Source: http://rentalleaseagreement.com

RE: breaking of lease
Do what you have to do to get the place rented again. Your other option for collecting damages would be to take them to small claims court, depending on the max allowed to recover loses. CA allows $10,000. Or, just consider the loss as part of doing business. Remember, you may win your claim, but it's up to you to collect. The 30 day notice (in this case) has nothing to do with your lease until the lease expires.
