I once had a tenant move out on a fixed term lease AND they took the fridge.

They'd moved out of province as well and the lawyer I'd asked at the time (they used to be called Landlord 9/11 so tried to help from the landlord's point of view) said it'd cost more than a few thousand dollars to get a judgment out of province, and there'd still be the challenge of collecting.

So yeah while they're responsible for the lease up until you can re-rent it, enforcing that probably won't be worth it.
