    Default What Compensation Can You Get from a Tenant Who Breaks a Lease

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California

    I rented a room someone with the lease expiring in mid-August, but on June 29th, I received a text from the roomie saying all her stuff is gone and she has moved out. (We were friendly so her sudden disappearance without talking to me first was a huge surprise.) How do I collect for the lost rent, cleaning fees, etc.? Is small claims my only option? (I don't have her ss# so I can't report it on her credit, which would have been good leverage.) I've made a good faith effort to re-rent and I will have someone new in mid-August. Can I hold her liable for all rent, reasonable cleaning fees, etc. up to that point, which is what we agreed to?

    Thank you.
