What is required from a tenant when vacating a severely damaged rental property?

They must file a formal complaint with city officials
They need to provide verbal notice to the landlord
They must surrender the building
They should continue to make rental payments

The correct answer is: They must surrender the building

When a tenant vacates a severely damaged rental property, they are required to surrender the building. Surrendering the property means that the tenant must return possession of the rental unit to the landlord. This typically involves removing all personal belongings and returning any keys or access devices. In cases of severe damage, the tenant may also be acting in accordance with the terms of their lease agreement, which could allow for termination of the lease if the property is uninhabitable. This step ensures that the landlord is aware that the tenant is no longer occupying the space, which may be important for the management of repairs and future rental decisions. Surrendering the property properly helps establish a clear legal transition and can protect the tenant from further obligations regarding the lease.
