NO, you have no recourse. You accepted rent for the extra days they were supposed to be out. When you did that, you accepted the fact they could remain in the property another 30 days. Had you NOT accepted any rent, and started eviction procedures to evict them as hold-over tenants, THEN you could deduct ACTUAL costs to remove them. And IF you could somehow prove you lost a sale in that same 30 days, then you could possibly deduct "something", for that "loss", but that's extremely hard to prove. They are out NOW, so do whatever you were going to do 30 days ago, and forget trying to "penalize" them.
