Topic: tenant breaking lease - chicago
My tenant came from another state and needed a place to stay immediately. He moved into my apartment 3 days before the lease officially start. He signed a one year lease. I usually give new tenants couple days prior to the lease starts for them to move stuffs in. He stayed in the apartment for 7 days and told me he found another apartment and need to move. His reason to move is this is a garden apartment and not good for his health. Also he complained hot water is not clean. But he cannot prove that. We ran the water for 10 minutes. Now he is gone without returning the keys to me and left some stuff in the apartment. I still have his security deposit. What should I do to his stuff? What is the proper way to re-rent the apartment because of this lease? Thanks.
