I own a condo in dc. I have a lease with my tenant through the end of september. I informed my tenant at the beignning of this month that I would be moving back into my condo at the end of the lease.
My tenant contacted me a week ago to inform me that he had made arrangements to move out by August 1. I now have to pay rent where I am currently living as well as cover the morgage for the condo that he is renting. Do I have any rights to withold any of the security deposit to help cover part of the costs for his breaking of the lease?
He has been a great tenant but does not seem to understand that he has put me in a bad financial situtation.
Please let me know if I have any rights as the owner with a signed lease.
