This is from our lease...My interpretation is I can rent it and deduct what I take in from Airbnb from their rent. Do I have to give notice to them when we are at the property or when guests are renting the property? Or because they have surrendered the property they no longer have legal ties to it?

IMPORTANT: THIS LEASE IS A LEGAL DOCUMENT WHICH HAS IMPORTANT LEGAL CONSEQUENCES

If the Tenant vacates before the last day of the tenancy, and gives Landlord written notice that Tenant has vacated, surrender occurs when Landlord receives the written notice that Tenant has vacated. If the Tenant mails the notice to Landlord, Landlord Is deemed to have received the notice on the second day after mailing, If Tenant vacates the Premises after the last day of the tenancy, surrender occurs when Landlord learns that Tenant has vacated. If Tenant abandons the Premises before expiration or termination of this Agreement or its extension or renewal, or if the tenancy Is terminated for Tenant's breach of this Agreement, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to re-rent the Premises and apply any rent received, less costs of re-renting, toward Tenant's obligations under this Agreement. Tenant shall remain liable for any deficiency. If Tenant Is absent from the Premises for two (2) successive weeks without notifying Landlord In writing of this absence, Landlord may deem the Premises abandoned unless rent has been paid for the full period of the absence.

I rented my Airbnb property to a couple for 8 months using the Bigger Pockets lease packet. The couple decided to move 2 months before their contract ended. They are now asking if I can rent it via Airbnb, and if I can will they get some of their rent money back? This is a first for me, and I am not sure how to handle it. They have been out since the 1st of the month, all belongings are gone, and keys have been returned. I have someone inquiring about renting the house for the last weekend of the month. Do I deduct what I would receive from the new guests, or do I have to leave the house vacant until the end of their lease, if I expect to collect the rent? Appreciate any insight you can provide.
