Oh sweet jesus I hate people sometimes.

Ok, its time for a reality check for her. Is it a 1 year lease with option to go month to month, or fixed term lease?

Going to assume its 1 year. If you guys aren't signing people on 1 year with month to month option leases, I'm ashamed of the work in educating we've done

It shocks me how many tenants have NO idea what they are signing in terms of leases.

A lease is a promissory note to pay a certain amount of money for the use of a property for the duration of the lease. So, if the rent is $833 per month, I am signing a document that agrees that I owe you $10,000 for your apartment for the year, payable monthly.

Now, you can get your money from her, or you can get it from a combination of people. Doesn't matter-you are entitled to $10,000 for the next year.

And if you don't, its called "Loss of Rental Revenue".

So, you get miss "Feng Shui" princess on the phone, and you tell her that you have the deposit, and you have the rent for September. On October 1, you are expecting your rent for October. On October 2nd, if you don't have it, you are serving her a RTB-10(downloadable from the RTB site).

option 2, is she can provide written notice that she is intending to leave. She needs to have that to you on the last day of the previous month(August 31 for end of tenancy on September 30th.) As she has not done so, you will be handing her a RTB-10 on October 2 as above if rent is not paid.

Upon receiving this notice, I will attempt to rent the apartment. If I am unable to rent it for the monthly rent that you agreed to, I will expect compensation for the duration of the lease between the difference of the rent I collect, and the amount in your lease.

And that's how it goes folks. To the question above, "Why don't you put an ad up again and rent it to someone else?" yeah, ultimately, that's what you need to do, and that's a part of the game, but on the flip side, why should he have to run around and fix this chicks mistakes? We used to do all kinds of things to help people out-and I got tired of it. You get a quick thanks as a sign of appreciation as they pack their shit into another apartment. I got tired of it. I'm expected to adhere to the residential tenancy act, and I'll have the sweetest old lady shove the thing sideways up my ass if I don't-well, it goes both ways. He didn't force her to sign the lease. And in fact, and I bet this is going through the OP's head, he did her a solid of renting to her from out of town probably sight unseen, and his 'quick thanks of appreciation' is this bullshit.

Teaches you about favors for strangers,doesn't it?
