Hello,
I have a similar situation to NYC_former_tenant: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=14190
Due to family reasons, we had to move out of our UES 2br earlier this year. We have already surrendered possession to the LL and have been dutifully paying our rent (despite not living there) for the past 3 months. We also agreed to pay a part of the broker's fee and any difference in rent until the end of our lease (May 2021).
However, it has come to our attention that our LL has received 3 offers on the unit, though he has rejected all of them on the basis that the offers presented are too low (which is understandable given that we are in covid-season). I understand that he is supposed to mitigate damages on a best efforts basis, so is he allowed to do this by arguing that the offers were below "fair market price"? How should we think about this situation? Thanks in advance.
