Naively after your code...
logs = logs.rstrip()

But probably, I'd have constructed the list of logs, then used 'join'
to build the string.

logs = []
for row in resultSet:
    for name in ('access.log', 'error.log'):
        logs += ['/home/%s/%s/log/%s' % (row[1], row[0], name)]
logs = '\n'.join(logs)

Or equivalently using a list comprehension...

logs = '\n'.join('/home/%s/%s/log/%s' % (row[1], row[0], name)
    for row in resultSet
    for name in ('access.log', 'error.log'))
