My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: California, not rent-controlled

Hi everyone,

A month ago, I was mad at my roommate and I texted her to please move out. She didn't confirm or contest. However, just today, she suddenly packed up and left. (She also didn't pay rent that was due on the 5th and ignored my questions as to the status of the rent.)

I'm put off because if she had just said something to the affirmative, I could have been looking for a new roommate this past month. Instead, she was silent and then left.

What are my rights at this point? I am certainly going to do everything I can to find a new roommate, but she has put me in an odd position. Can I treat her as someone who broke her lease since she never told me she was leaving?

Thanks for any help.

Quick edit: She didn't leave the keys.
