Tenant shall have abandoned or surrendered the Premises if any of the following events occur and if Tenant’s personal belongings have been substantially removed, and Tenant does not appear to be living in the Premises in Agent’s reasonable judgment :Tenant’s move out or notice to vacate date has passed; Tenant is in default for non‐payment of rent for 5 consecutive days; water, gas, electric, or any other service for the Premises connected in Tenant’s name has been terminated or disconnected; Agent is in the process of judicially evicting Tenant for any reason; and Tenant fails to respond for 2 consecutive days to any notice posted on the inside of the main entry door to the Premises stating that Agent considers Tenant to have abandoned. 

The lease clearly outlines the tenant responsibility and I'm notified of past due accounts which can lead to a 10 day notice to comply or vacate.

If I don't hear from them (or if I intend to non-renew their lease) I send them a 30 day notice to quit when we're 30 days out from the lease termination date.I state in the lease that I'm allowed to post "For Rent" or "For Sale" signs on the property and / or post "For Rent" signs in the window of the unit which is to be vacated, and further state that the tenant agrees to showings of the property with a 24 hour notice.

However, there are alternative financing options you can explore for your Short-Term Vacation Rental (STVR) properties:Cash-Out Refinance: This allows you to refinance your existing mortgage and take out some of the equity as cash.

I posted a few times while my wife and I were looking for our vacation home.
