Forum / General Property Management / FL Tenants move out before lease term ends

I have a one year lease that was set to roll over unless the tenant notified me 30 days prior to the end of the term they wished to terminate it. They sent email 5 months prior to end of lease term to say they were moving to take a new job. They don't think I can collect the unpaid rent and that the security deposit is the same as rent. I disagreed and they got ugly about it. Who is right?

RE: FL Tenants move out before lease term ends

If they gave you proper notice, I do not understand how they are in default. You said that the lease specifies a thirty day notice. It appears that they gave you more than that.
