Orlando Tenant didn't give 60 days and wants his balance to be $0

[Scott Esmail]

We have a tenant who moved out and did not give 60 days. Therefore his account on his portal is showing he owes those 2 months of rent plus late fees. The property got rented fast and now the past tenant is claiming since that the property is now rented and occupied by a new tenant that we can not charge him for the 60 days owing ? Can someone clarify if he is correct ?

The law allows you to charge rent up until the new tenant took over. As long as that jives with your lease, you should be fine. Check your state laws closely before making the wrong call and getting into hot water.
