    How can I collect rent due if a tenant leaves early?

    Hi Jose, If they have vacated the property and you are totally sure of that then your best bet is to move on and count your blessings that they are gone. Clean up the property, perform due diligence on the next tenant or hire a property manager to do likewise, and get your next tenant moved...

    Purchase to flip, with a tenant
