Tenant Left Early, Broke Lease, "Uninhabitable Conditions"

[Ashley Shearer]

Hello all - thanks in advance for any help! Advice needed for newbies! Tenant broke lease and moved out early, explaining the living conditions were 'uninhabitable' due to noise/fighting from tenant on other side. 

Quick & Dirty:

- April 18: Settled on duplex, inherited one tenant on each side, Tenant A (male) Tenant B (female)
- May 18: Tenant A asks to move girlfriend in, we say no, he moves girlfriend in without our knowledge anyways. 
- Oct 13, 2018: Tenant B complains of loud fighting, first complaint. We inform Tenant A to call police if it gets too bad. We warn Tenant B about noise. Find out he moved her in. Tell him to move her out or we'll end his lease. 
- Over next 2.5 weeks, we speak with police and proceed to find legal help to begin eviction proceedings properly (first time, no experience). We also receive one more complaint from Tenant B again. We inform her to call police if it gets bad (she has not called police yet).
- Oct 31: Tenant A girlfriend is harassing Tenant B with banging on her door, loud noises. Tenant B finally calls police. This is her 3rd complaint to us. 
- Nov 1: Give notice to quit to Tenant A. 
- Nov 12: Tenant B emails us that she has moved out as of Nov 3 and left the keys. We text her last week asking where rent check was, she lied and said she would send it again. No rent. 

Lease states she has to give 60 days notice to end lease. She only complained to us a few times and we feel we worked as fast as possible (and as fast as lawyers would allow) to evict. We, legally, had to give tenant 'notice to quit' and could not evict immediately, so this would have taken time regardless. 

Is this worth pursuing the unpaid rent, for at least one month? She has lived there for at least 5 years, I know there will be expenses to flip and to get a new tenant in, and her security deposit is less than a regular month's rent. I can try to do it as quickly as possible but I'd like her to pay at least this month's rent. 

Any advice appreciated!
