Did the tenant put it in writing, thirty days before he moved out? If he did not, do not worry about what he has stated. The tenant needs to let the post office know he has moved as well....
Next time, you get a firm date in writing, even if the tenant can only scratch it on the back of a napkin. It avoids the hard feelings this way.
I just hate to tell people this, but most states are term states, meaning you rent it for at least a month. (Not like renting a motel room, which can be for one day) It is also professional courtesy for both parties to communicate the exact moveout date....
Did you let him know the place is abandoned, and therefore you changed the locks?

It was NOT abandoned. He surrendered the key.
