Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / 28 day notice from tenant

One of my tenants has given more than a 28 day notice. They are on a month to month. The move out date is Sept 3rd. Do they have to pay rent for the whole month of Sept since I will probably not be able to rent it out until Oct.

RE: 28 day notice from tenant

If they are month to month and gave you a months notice, that seems really fair. I would pro rate their rent and not charge them for two days, that seems silly.

I would pro-rate and charge them for the 2 days, just take it out of the security deposit when you do your refund back.

WI is a whole rental period state so they would owe for the entire month unless you are able to find a replacement tenant for the remainder of the the month. So legally they owe for the month. It is up to you whether you want to be 'nice' or a businessperson.
