Doesn't matter if you personally can't find him, you can still work with a lawyer to outline charges and submit a police report.
Aside from that, all you can really do is ensure that nothing was taken (if so, document it and bring it to the lawyer) and start searching for new tenants.

I think you're lucky if this is the worst you have to deal with. If I were in this situation I'd expect a legal fight to evict a squatter. Doesn't make it right to break a lease but you got off lucky.

>>50707561
If you can't afford this shit on a single house you're overleveraged and don't know what the fuck you're doing. Clean it yourself then, this is what you get paid to do as a landlord.
He didn't follow the binding lease, yes, but "he fucked me" looks more like squatting for months while the courts refuse to serve an eviction.
This sort of shit is why the real estate market is vulnerable right now, too many people thought landlord-ing was literally free money.

Anon it sucks but it could be so much worse. The tenant could have stopped paying and declared BK and not paid rent for years. Or burned your house down. The rental property biz has downsides like this and always will. Hedge your vacancy exposure with multi unit buildings. Charge large deposits. Keep large cash cushion on hand for things like thus and remember it's it's a tax write off against your W2 income. Don't worry you GMI.

Better pay a lawyer, with money you can't afford, to go after the guy whose rent payment you were completely reliant upon... to pay that mortgage you can't afford! You're trying to play the system, crying foul when it doesn't work out precisely your way while contributing to a dynamic which otherwise forces people to rent. I genuinely hope, for the health of the housing market as a whole, that you and every single other person in your position lose your bets because you're trying to enrich yourselves at everyone else's expense. It actually brings me a small joy to know that the housing market looks like it really does finally want to take a dive, and that you're probably going to find yourself underwater on that loan. If this happens to you and a few million more people, maybe the rest of us will be able to afford a house. Hurrah! Death to landlords!

You can always go to small claims but I'd consider this abandonment. You're likely in the clear to just post a notice, take pictures for proof, then reclaim property based on the state. I'd change the locks ASAP either way while you post notice just to cover your base.

Likely you going the small claims route won't be worth it since they're probably dead beats. If they didn't totally trash the place and you just have to pay a bit to get it in ship shape on top of the deposit, just count yourself lucky and move on. Most rentoids trash the place then make you evict them on top of the court fees. I guess my advice is decide how much it really matters for you. Sounds like from here >>50707561 you're just out some fees and such for cleaning. I'd relist it and start taking apps asap and just move on.

If your lease doesn't have an abandonment clause you need to make sure it has one
