!!! Help- Tenant can't move out by lease expiration date
Hi BP community,
I am a new landlord, I purchased a property in 2015 with a tenant paying way below market rent. When I purchased I advised the tenant that it is my intent to occupy the property after the lease expires. Per California code, I gave the tenant a 60 day notice, and a 30 day notice. The lease expires in 11 days. Yesterday (12 days till lease expiration) the tenant informed me that their new apartment/ condo won't be available for them to live in starting June 17. 17 days after lease expiration. I have been taking a big loss on the property for 6+ months.
Is there anyway legal way I can increase the rent on the tenant for those 17 days to something like what Air BnB rates are going for in the area -~$100 a night?
I see that California law generally requires 30 day notice if increasing under 10%. 60 days if over 10%. My tenant sprung this on me with 12 days left. An Eviction will take time and I might not collect anything. Tenant's Current average daily rate is around $42. Market is about $60 based on 30 day month. My intent is to occupy the property.
Please help!

in Wisconsin the landlord can charge double the daily rate of rent if the tenant does not vacate on the termination date.
