You have to look at the rental agreement you signed with your tenant. Normally, if you break your lease early, you pay a penanlty, and that's it. The rental agreement is a contract, andthe only way your gonna be able to get them to pay if they move is to chase it through court. The court is not going to side with you unless it is explicitly spelled out in your rental agreement that you will continue to charge them rent once they move. Even if that is in the agreement, the court may still side with the tenant, because what you are suggesting is pretty shitty (predatory) business practice. Either way, your money's a long way off. If you take it to court and lose, you will eat the cost of taking them to court. If you win, you may or may not be reimbursed by the teneant for your legal fees. (Probably just a portion) If I were you, I would just charge them the penalty outlined in the agreement, and put the house on the market. Maybe you can sell a little high and make up your losses.
