    When tenant breaks lease?
    I have two single home properties that we own on the same block where we live in California and one is currently vacant. My question is I'm not sure how to articulate on my lease about what happens when a tenant breaks a lease. We do intend to keep the deposit (which seems typical and allowable for the landlord to do), in addition to taking the tenant to court for lost income, possible damages to the property, etc. But I'm not sure just how to phrase it. Thank you.

    I have had dozens and dozens of rentals over the years. It is well worth the couple hundred dollars to go to an attorney and get a lease that meets your state laws and covers what you want to do.

    That will be the best 200 or 300 dollars you have ever spent
