breaking the lease - what monies can i charge

I have a leaser who is through 4 months of a 2 year lease. They are now wanting to vacate in 8 days. What monies can i charge them, if any for breaking the lease early?  There is someone else interested in leasing .(so hopefully i won't have an unoccupied property)

What does your lease say? Most states require a landlord to mitigate damages. This means that you must make every effort to re-rent as quickly as possible. Ususally a landlord can not charge rent to a tenant when he has already rented the unit. Did they give you notice? DO they owe rent?
NC area: My tenants only gave 7 day notice.  Can I charge them for breaking lease which required 30 day notice?  Can I take the deposit.  There are damages over the usual and reasonable.  Do I just deduct those.  They are telling me that they gave 30 day notice (they told me on the 22nd of Sept and were out by end of month)  I thought they had to stay in house for the 30 day notice period and pay rent for that period in order to comply to the 30 day notice. Thanks. Sandy
