Early notice of intent to vacate at lease end

[Lois S.]

A tenant with a 2-yr lease has given notice that they'll be moving out to a better school district when lease ends in 8 months.

Normally this happens closer to lease end, and I follow CA regulations re: advising tenant of their rights to pre-move inspection, etc, etc.

Should that happen now - or just acknowledge receipt of notice and wait until 1 month before lease end?

Any other things to consider?
