Tenant left home without giving notice

Dee Mandrekar
Posted

Our tenants left without giving prior notice and did not pay for last months rent. I have 1 month deposit so it will cover that. There was no Lease termination doc signed or anything. What should be my next step as far as making sure we are taken care of as a LL. They just texted me and no other means of communication. Their lease was to end Spetember 2024. Pls advice.

Unfortunately this happens, I choose to take this as part of the business I am in and review my screening process. Photograph or video the empty unit and get the place ready for the next tenant. Some LL will pursue the tenant for any rent owed or notice period not satisfied, that of course is up to you. Save any communication. Be sure and send them a final accounting including the security deposit to any forwarding or last known address. All the best!
