Renters vacated home prior to lease expiration - needing support

Amit Shah
Posted

Hello All,

I am a first timer here, and was recommended by a friend, so apologies if I havent posted to the right forum or used the right language.

I am a landlord of a property (my first) in Von Ormy, south of San Antonio. The renters signed a 1 year lease with a 1 month deposit in late March.

However, they missed paying me rent in July and upon calling them this morning (after 2 offline requests), they informed that they have vacated the premises over this past weekend.

I need help to understand how I can repossess and show the property around given the lease has been broken.

Questions for anyone who can help...
1. Is an email statement from the renter sufficient where they indicate they have vacated the property and that it was their own decision or do I need to do something a little more formal here?

2. Can I repossess property as early as tomorrow?

3. When in your opinion can I list this property back on the market?


I dont plan on taking any action as it relates to early lease termination. Any guidance is appreciated please.
