I have this clause in my lease and I don't quite understand it. Anyone have any ideas?
DUTY TO PAY RENT AFTER EVICTION OR SURRENDER
Rent is due under this Lease even if Tenant surrenders the Premises or is evicted by Landlord. Landlord shall make good faith efforts to mitigate damages.

ent is due under this Lease even if Tenant surrenders the Premises or is evicted by Landlord. = If you evict them, they still have to pay you the money that they owe you.
Landlord shall make good faith efforts to mitigate damages. = If you evict you will try as hard as you can to get someone else to rent the place quickly, so the deadbeat doesn't owe another six month's worth of rent.

In some courts (such as mine), if you evict that is viewed as your terminating the lease so you can't collect under the choice "evicted by landlord."
Check to make sure that part is allowed in your state.
Also be sure you have a severability clause, that if a clause you have is in violation of the law, the rest of the lease still holds up. --205.188.xxx.x |

You have a serious issue if you cannot even understand that simple lease clause, I highly doubt that you understand any of your lease provision based upon your question, --71.176.xxx.xxx |

That clause would not fly here, for exactly the reason Carolyn gave.
However, if the tenants move out on their own volition before the end of the lease, you can charge the rent until the unit is rerented. --75.61.xx.xx |

Thanks Martin and Carolyn. I think if I take the eviction part out it will make more sense.
If the tenant leaves of their own accord, they are still liable for the lease until it is rented.

Keith, take the good and let the rest roll off you like water off a raincoat. Somwone may just be having a bad day today.
You are trying to understand everything in your lease--BRAVO! Your lease will save you one of these days. If you amend it--just make sure that what you change is legal in your state. Go above to tenant/LL laws by state and print off the laws for MN. Put them in a 3-ring binder for reference. Bookmark or highlight as nec. --140.140.xx.x |

People should take their anger and frustration out on their families and not on strangers!
That lease clause came directly from:
MINNESOTA STANDARD RESIDENTIAL LEASE
By the Residential Real Estate Committee, Real Property Law Section
Minnesota State Bar Association
If you are on a question and answer board and you have nothing to contribute to the answer, then why say anything? People with low self esteem elevate themselves by demeaning or belittling other people.
I knew when I posted my question some jack a$$ would respond with a pointless post and they didn't let me down.
