Forum / General Property Management / Tenant wants to vacate before lease expires

I have a tenant that just call me to say that he wil be moving, because someone soposibly went into the property and stole some of his things which the police says that there was no force entry and a daughter was there while this took place and then he said he doesn't want to get in conflicts with my hus. This tenant if he should vacate before his lease is up will owe possibly for 3 months what can I do to stay ahead of him

RE: Tenant wants to vacate before lease expires

Are you saying that the tenant has a lease that expires in 3 months and wants to move now?

You can start looking for a new tenant. And you may use the security deposit, which your renter paid you, as a result of breaking the lease. This is considered compensation.
