Re: Landlord's rights to sue on a 2 year signed lease

I disagree about their being damages.
I've had this happen to me, years ago. $$$ in hand and signed lease. I turn away prospects, "Property no longer available". Pull my ads. 10 days to two weeks (can't remember) New tenant changed their mind and decided not to move. There were damages. I was back at square one. Anyone of the people who had called that I told the property wasn't available could have been a "Tenant".
Here was the weird part. I wasn't sure so I spoke with my attorney. He stated that until either the 'new tenant' was in default of the lease or I got a written notice to vacate I couldn't re-rent the property. His question to me was what will you do if you re-rent the property and she shows up one day ready to move in. It was a mess, time kept ticking. At that time I couldn't afford for a unit to sit idle.

You can disagree as much as you like, but you would be incorrect. It is somewhat of a fine point, but still meanful in some situations.
The same concept applies to future rents. You are not entitled to future rents until they come due.
