(1) If the tenant defaults in the payment of rent and reasonably
             indicates by words or actions the intention not to resume tenancy, the
             tenant shall be liable for the following for such abandonment: PROVIDED,
             That upon learning of such abandonment of the premises the landlord
             shall make a reasonable effort to mitigate the damages resulting from
             such abandonment:
                     (a) When the tenancy is month-to-month, the tenant shall be liable
             for the rent for the thirty days following either the date the landlord learns
             of the abandonment, or the date the next regular rental payment would
             have become due, whichever first occurs.
                     (b) When the tenancy is for a term greater than month-to-month,
             the tenant shall be liable for the lesser of the following:
                     (i) The entire rent due for the remainder of the term; or
                     (ii) All rent accrued during the period reasonably necessary to
             rerent the premises at a fair rental, plus the difference between such fair
             rental and the rent agreed to in the prior agreement, plus actual costs
             incurred by the landlord in rerenting the premises together with statutory
             court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
