Who covers the loss when a tenant breaks a lease?
My tenant broke his lease. In order to fill my apartment, I had to lower the rent. (Rents have dropped 20% in the SF Bay area.) The replacement tenant signed a lease directly with me, not a sublet lease with the tenant who left. Question: Can I charge the original tenant the difference in rent, through the end of his lease period?
