Tenant ABC and I signed up a one year lease with a deposit of $500 for a $33K lease last July 7. On July 18, he emailed me to cancel the lease and wanted to compensate me for the inconvenience with the $500 deposit. I informed him that the cost of rerenting was 7% of the lease amount, i.e. $2,310 plus any lost of rent, should the property be vacant when his lease starts, i.e. August 1. His email response was go ahead and market the property.
On July 22, I signed up new tenants, effective August 15 and send tenant ABC a final bill for the $2,310 plus $1,375 for the half month's rent less $500, his sec dep. Tenant wants to renegotiate the rerenting cost because he said he received the lease (by mail) couple of days after he notified me of his cancellation. Lease was mailed to him immediately after July 7, mail was returned by PO for postage due a few days after and remailed on July 15.
