Tenant Breaking Lease and moving to another state for new job

[Kar Sun]

Hello All,

My good tenant is breaking a lease and moving end of January.

Lease runs through end of May, 2021.

Tenant is aware that he is responsible for the lease until I find a new tenant or lease ends.

Do we have to do a final walkthrough before they physically leave the property end of January?

What about keys?

From my perspective the lease is not over, so I do not want to do a walkthrough as it may signify that I accept to end the contract.

Same goes for the keys.

My tenant's company will pay for him to return and do a final walkthrough at a later date.

I explained to the tenant that he is also responsible for utilities since I have to keep showing the property.

I do have a security deposit and intend to keep it until the lease end or new tenant move in.

Please let me know if I am doing it right.

Thanks
