Tenant is only responsible for rent for 30-days after they gave notice, regardless of your 60-day notice. So you owe a refund for February 14-28. If the tenant actually vacates on 1/21 you are also legally obligated to take all commercially reasonable steps to have a new tenant in before 2/13. If you fail to take all commercially reasonable steps to get a new tenant in as soon as possible, then you owe a refund from the day the tenant vacates.
