So you are saying the 30 days does not begin running at all if a tenant breaches the lease?

If that is the case, why does the statute talk about the tenant giving 7 days written notice and a forwarding address?

The 30 days is the notice period at the end of the lease. The lease is not ended just because the tenant defaults. This is a situation of a mid lease default. The first paragraph of the statute says that the Landlord holds the money in a separate account, until he is entitled to it. Upon a rent default, he is entitled to it. The tenant is still obligated for rent under the balance of the lease. The last month can be applied the next month or vice versa.

Couldn’t you just do the Notice (within the 30 days), indicating that you intend to apply the SD to July rent if the Landlord is unable to secure a replacement tenant? You may not have to actually incur the damages within the 30 days, you just have to give the Notice within 30 days.
Also, look at 83.49(5). Did the Tenant give at least 7 days notice (cert mail), prior to vacating? If not, then you really don’t have to worry about the Notice dates, just whether you are actually entitled.
