l rented a private room and bath in my home.Three days after tenant moved in,she moved out without notice.She left me a nasty letter (full of false accusations) stating that l did not provide her with peaceful enjoyment.Except for our initial meeting to see the space and some emails, the only time l saw and spoke with her was on the day she moved in. She did not voice ANY concerns she had about the room or the environment.We have a written, signed and dated rental agreement, which included the forfeit of her security/damage deposit should she vacate the property without providing a proper 30 day notice to vacate.She also paid a prorated rent for 10/16 to 10/31.She is demanding a full refund, less three days rent.Do l owe her anything?

You owe her nothing.

No..you don't. She owes you what was stated in the lease. She may even owe for the full month of of November for failure to give proper notice.

not a dime

no you do not owe her anything.

Ha. Tell her she cant live for free! Who the hell does she think she is? ITs called a contract you cant break the contract just because she felt uncomfortable. Tell her she aint gettn shit back its called a forfeit.tell her to read the contract AGAIN. LOL

Nope. She signed and agreed to the terms of the contract.

You can not collect rent twice for the same day or days. So if she moved out on the 3rd & was paid up until the 30 th, u can keep the 27 days rent. In the security deposit, u can keep 3 days rent to finish the 30 day notice period.

To keep the balance of the deposit, u will need to itemize damage other than normal wear or tear.

Be sure to provide the ex-tenant an itemized list of any money with held from the deposit ( 3 days rent) & any other deductions u made. There is a time limit requirement for providing this list. In most states if u do not meet the statutory time limits, they r entitled to the deposit & a penalty.

Check ur States tenant Land Lord laws to see what the time limits r on providing the itemized list of deductions & returning the deposit.

Wow sticky situation. You do not owe her any of the rent back since she did not give proper notice to move out. since she was there only 3 days u might refund her security deposit just to be nice. However if ur signed rental agreement specifically states she would forfeit her deposit if she does not give proper notice then she does not get anything back.

What u need to do is follow ur states laws & send her a letter right away stating why she is not getting her deposit back. The pro-rated rent was RENT & nothing more she lost that when she left without giving proper notice. make sure u send the letter certified mail return receipt requested.

nope you dont owe her anything. if you had a lease agreement,(dont know if you do) and she left before that was up then she wont get any of her deposit either, on top of what everyone else has said.

No, you owe her nothing. She broke the lease and has to pay the penalties stated in the lease.
