re: Should I/Should I not charge rent

Well, how was he tenant? Was he a good tenant? Never late on rent, no complaints about music, parking spaces, etc. other than the few items left over, was the apt clean? If it was a tenant you had no previous issues with, I would contact him about his stuff and then proceed from there as far as throwing it out or waiting on him to remove it. Chances are, he might have just left it there to be thrown away.
If he was a tenant you routinely had issues with, then by all means, keep the security deposit and the furniture and sell it on craigslist

You were my favorite poster until you broke character and tried to get real.
It was a good run. Now you can eat a dick like all these other dolts.

I'm just wondering it is a dick move to charge a daily rate considering the house is 85% empty and the new tenant is moving in mid-month.
IMO yes, if it were me I'd tell the guy I'm getting it ready for the new tenant next week, if your shite isn't gone by Monday it's getting sold/trashed. Unless you've had problems with him in the past, in which case, frick 'em.

Either charge the daily rate or call a crew to throw away their crap and keep the deposit.

The lease was less than a year, so I just asked for 30 days notice. That said, the previous tenant has had contact with the new tenant about their move in date (I believe he was trying to see if the new tenant wanted the couch and some other small furnishings). There are also some clothing items, pictures, toiletries, and other things one would naturally want.

Did yall discuss how long he had to get out after giving 30 day notice?

Well then maybe he figures he has until the new tenant moves in to get everything out.
I don't understand why he is in contact with the new tenant. Did you give him that info? You should have told him the new tenant is moving in on the 1st and left it at that.

Is this about the aa shite? Sorry man, we can have differing opinions and still get along
(not trying to be a smart arse with the cheers). But if it's just cause I'm not funny anymore, i get that too. Thanks for saying it was a good run though.

I'd tell them a dumpster is being delivered tomorrow morning so if they want their leftover crap, they better hurry. Don't pussyfoot around the issue as they have taken advantage of your kindness by not being out on time....you know, per the contract they signed.
Posted on 9/2/15 at 2:47 pm to TigerMyth36
They wouldn't keep the whole deposit. I don't think that's very reasonable. There's no reasonable case you can make that it costs hundreds to possibly over a thousand dollars to dispose of a few items. They would charge a disposal fee and deduct it from the deposit. That makes sense.

Uh, it's not very clear what is per the contract. You're giving OP a benefit of the doubt that to me it doesn't seem that he has earned.

Stop breaking character. It makes me uncomfortable.
I'm not going to wash your balls, buddy, but keep at it. You are one of the only people that make me laugh every day.

Tell him to have it out by a certain time tomorrow and say if not you will be forced to charge him.
Posted on 9/2/15 at 2:53 pm to Forkbeard3777
Don't charge them yet. Tell them the stuff needs to be out by Sunday or they'll be paying a full cleaning fee instead of rent
Posted on 9/2/15 at 2:53 pm to Forkbeard3777
You have to read your lease to see what's allowed. Based on my leases. My leases say I can charge pro-rated rent until vacant and can deduct cleaning fees if it's not "broom clean".
The only time that happened to me, they were behind on the rent by 30 days, moved out without notice and left a nice leather sofa. I kept the whole deposit and gave the sofa to a friend.

Pee on the bottom side of the couch cushion, put a piece of aluminum in the microwave (they may forget to check or something), draw dicks on the bottom of the tables, put cat pee or doe pee on the bottom of the curtain, wear their clothes naked, rub some stanky shite on the light bulbs so when they turn it on it gets hot and smells up the room.
Make sure they collect all their stuff and don't charge them money. Charge them their sanity.

Do you have a proper* written lease? What does it say? If no lease or not in the lease, do you have a security deposit from the tenant? If so, hire someone to put that stuff in storage and someone to clean the place and deduct that from the deposit. Good luck.
* a proper lease would cover this scenario.

I have several properties. If it isn't cleaned out and ready by the 15th I take it out of the deposit. I wouldn't charge them unless they stick you with the cleaning.

He was a great tenant...especially for a college student. He never asked to repair anything, always timely paid rent, kept the premises clean, the three other tenants in the sectioned house never complained, etc...
I mean, he could have the place cleared out within an hour...It isn't like an all-day move. That's why I'm conflicted. If it was a lot of shite (bed, bed frame, dishes, etc.) I'd feel less conflicted about charging.

I'd have to look. The agreements are at my house. I have a few properties in which the leases are all different. This is a sectioned off house with 4 units total for college students/young graduates, etc. I'm pretty relaxed with them as long as they don't damage the place.
