Hello,
I am trying to end my rent stabilized lease three months early. I've read some of the replies on the forum and I understand the landlord's obligation to mitigate damages by making an effort to rent out the unit and my obligation to pay for damages that are incurred during the vacancy.
My question is regarding the security deposit - would I still be able to go through the normal process of scheduling a walkthrough when I leave and getting the deposit minus any damages back? Or do I give up my right to the deposit because I left early? Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks in advance
