Getting Rid of a Tenant Before They Move In

[Kevin Feltner]

I have a tenant that is set to move in on March 1, still he is not responding to my phone calls and texts. I am fairly certain that he will not be available to move in on the 1st and/or pay rent. As it stands now, he has paid a security deposit but no rent.

If he does not pay rent on the 1st, would I be able to immediately find a new tenant and keep in security deposit in lieu of rent for the month of March? I will not be able to find a new tenant until at least April 1.
