Broken Leases with Little Notice - How to Recover

By Amanda Bouck

The #1 fear for new investors is, “what if a tenant refuses to leave my property?”

Recently the opposite happened to me and I had tenants up and leave my property!

I had a half month’s rent collected for July, last month’s rent collected and a 1-year lease signed. The tenants started moving their belongings into the property and decided they didn’t want to stay. They gave me 4 days' notice and requested their last month’s rent to be returned to them.  

Landlords have rights too! If an issue arises, the Landlord has the right to try and fix the situation. 

In my case, they already moved out! That meant I would need to go to small claims court if I wanted to seek damages. I was in the middle of a refinance on this property and the lease I submitted to my lender was now invalid. Plus I would have an empty unit for the appraisal.

Watch this video to find out what I did, and how this turned out!
