I have a tenant that leased an RV spot from me at a park I own. He signed a written month to month lease, and paid for the month. 3 days after he signed the lease he sent me a message stating he had moved his camper and no longer wished to rent the property. He is demanding a full refund for the month.
I explained to him that I would attempt to re-lease the spot ... if I got it leased out before the end of the month then I would be willing to send him a pro-rated refund. If I was unable to find another tenant for the property by the end of the month he would not be getting any money back. This infuriated him, now he is threatening to sue me. He has been so unpleasant to deal with that now I have no intention of giving in to his demands, even though the amount of money is small ($300) As I reviewed my lease it does not stipulate how this situation will be handled. I would just like to know if I am handling this the correct way by offering a prorated refund. Thanks! KP
