Help! Signed lease for 3 month stay. Cancels before move in.
Hello,
I have a 3 unit which has been listed on Airbnb for awhile. I heard about the traveling work force as it is in a medical community in Augusta Ga. Got our first short term tenant. She signed a biggerpockets GA lease for 90 days and paid a deposit and past for a background check.
The morning after she was supposed to move in she emailed saying she would not be coming to Augusta as planned. I let her know that per GA law she has to give 30 days notice to break the contract, but the lease does not have any other stipulations.
I think I should refund her deposit. Keep the first months rent, and get it re rented for the final 2 months of her lease to let her off the hook for the 2nd and 3rd months. Thoughts?
Do I have to partially refund her first month if I can get it rented before 30 days is up?
Thanks in advance,
Winn
