After three months, Dave decided that he did not like the apartment. He gave Stephen a 30-day written notice, stating that he would vacate the rental unit at the end of the thirty days, which was April 30th. Upon receipt of Dave's notice, Stephen made reasonable efforts to find a new tenant. Nevertheless, the apartment remained vacant from May 1st. through June 30th.
