Tenant moving out on short notice

[Maxwell Covington]

I have a tenant who's lease is up at the end of may. He had verbally to me told me that he was going to renew and be month to month about 2 weeks ago. Last week he told me that he was moving out yesterday. He's all gone now. Is there anything I can do??

No matter what the lease says, is it worth the time and lawyers fees trying to fight to get an month or so of money out of him?  If the place is clean, just list it and get another tenant in it.  Around here if I had an empty it would be filled the next week or sooner.  I wouldn't really need to list it, I could just call a couple people from my waiting list that I liked best.
