Early termination of lease by Tenant
My tenant got a new job in Austin and he wants to terminate the lease early. He leased the condo just 3 months ago. Even my previous tenant terminated the lease early due to his personal reasons with his girl friend.
But as a new landlord( less than an year), I am going through the hassle of re-listing the unit, secure a tenant and return the deposit to the tenant.
Is there any clause in California, that can help the landlords like holding part/full of the security deposit for early termination by tenant? Because I remember paying my apartment 1 month rent(in addition to 1 month notice) when I had to terminate my contract but I don't see such clause in the rental agreement.
