If a tenant breaks a lease and requests to leave before the 12 months is up, what do they lose? If a landlord at move-in made them pay first month, last month, and security deposit, all about $1,000 each.
What does a landlord have to return if they only stayed six months?
What would be the purpose of taking these amounts if tenant could just walk and know they can get some of it back?

You need to consult with a lawyer in the state in which the lease was performed.

Not a landlord. Not a FReeper. Not a caddy. Not a maestro.

Can a landlord deduct turn-over costs ? Like paying an agent a commission to find a new tenant. What is reasonable and customary for this? 15% of the yearly lease total ? 7% cause that's a normal commission amount on sale of proper?

You need to consult with a CPA.

If a freeper can share wording they've used in the final security notice where amounts are being deducted of not returned.

Back to lawyer.
