Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Broken lease

Hi- my tenants left a note this am stating that they vacated the premises. Their lease isn't up until March. They said it was because the ac wasn't working right. I have had 2 licensed hvac's 3 times tell me that it was fine. Can I bring them to court for violating their lease? Natchitoches,la Thanks in advance!!!

RE: Broken lease

Yes, make sure that there is proof that the HVAC has ben there and that the AC is in proper working order, then you can go after them for the remainder of the rent until the end of their lease. Also make sure that they cannot return to the premises. Keep the note that they left that they have vacated so that you can legally change the locks.
