I gather they are going to sell off their stock at 10% of full value. In
that case, they might simply decide to treat the rental already paid as
an early sale.

In reality, staff working their last few days are unlikely to care.

Well that depends:

- Previously? Not enough;
- Right now? Anything not nailed down;
- Soon? Nothing.
