Story time as a new landlord: On Jan 1, rather than paying rent, my tenant notified me they moved out (5 months prior to the lease ending) I pride myself on being a great landlord. I let her move in a week early, reduced the security deposit since she was a friend of a friend, and any issue was addressed same day. I even refunded a late fee. It’s now the end of February and I have yet to secure another tenant. Some say it’s not worth suing to recover funds since I didn’t profit much.. thoughts?
