My question involves an eviction in the state of: Florida
In 7 years of renting, I've never had a tenant leave during the lease; only at the end. My agreement specifically states the security deposit is for the "performance of the agreement." I collect first and last month's rent up front. However, my tenant just informed me they are not paying rent for the current month, and are leaving at the end of the month - before the end of the lease. Technically, I haven't lost anything yet, but I suspect that I may not be able to take possession of the unit when the "new last month" expires, or if I'll also incur expenses going through an eviction process. Can be compensated using the security deposit for time the tenant could remain in the unit past what is now their last month (costs associated with an eviction process, lost rental time, potential damages, etc.)?
