Tenant wants to move 3 days late.

[Michael Campione]

Hi all,

In November I inherited two very good tenants in a duplex I purchasedin Texas. One however informed me that he would not be re-signing in April. His lease was to end April 15th but I told him if he wanted to end April 1st that was OK. He accepted. I plan on doing some upgrades to the unit so not having a tenant for April was planned. Now the tenant just asked if he could make his move out date the 7th as his new apt will not be ready until then.
Question is, technically his lease isn't up until the 15th. Since I know he is going to move on the 7th, do I charge for the 15 days OR 7 days and are there any legal implications or traps I need to avoid.

Thanks
