I think you should re-think your early termination policy and make it more reasonable, and provide more than one option, because if you are in the US your responsibility as a landlord is going to be to make reasonable attempts to minimize the loss to the tenant by prudently putting it back up for rent.

I'd attempt to speak with other occupants in similarly situated homes.

hi all, I am in the Tampa area attempting to buy my first 3 or 4plex to move into.

How dare us attempting to collect unpaid rent. 

In the meantime, there's cross talk and perhaps attempts at communication that are going unheard by one party or the other or, as is actually more common, both.Or, as just  happened to me this week, a client reached out and asked for a status update and I said "I'm still waiting for X" and they said "I sent you X 2 months ago". 

This was my first attempt at real estate, I would do ALOT of things differently the next go around.

I reside in South Carolina am attempting to charge my former tenant a cleaning and repair fee 40 days after they have moved out and their lease have ended.

Just depends on the nature of the business you are attempting to stamp out.

Especially for an engineer who likes to take a long time to make decisions (husband) and an analytical person who wants to know exactly how to do everything perfectly before attempting (me).

I had 2 failed attempts at buying my first flip last year.1st failed attempt was because I had my mortgage broker wait until 48 hours before my closing date to start the paperwork on a rehab loan.2nd failed attempt was when my lawyer backed out after finding out that the bank’s appraiser told me to break and enter the house to remove black mold.
