Tenants breaking lease, 2 week notice

Carrie Westover

hello BP landlords!

I am 3 years in on my first rental, having gone through a smooth, no problem tenant change once. I just received notice that my current tenants, who signed a two year lease in April this year, are moving out in 2 weeks- having not paid this month's rent. I am looking for advice on how to proceed. I believe my contract states a lease breakage penalty of 2 months' rent but I have to double check.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom!

It depends, but be aware that a notice to move is sometimes another rent delay tactic.  The landlord thinks it's a waste to file an eviction on a person that is going to move out soon, but then they don't move out and got to live there rent-free a little bit longer.
