We leased condo to unmarried couple 3 years ago. They both signed the initial and subsequent leases. Security deposit equivalent to one month rent was given at the time. This year's lease expires end of April. The guy is moving out, while the girl decided to stay and signed new lease with us.
The lease, just as previous ones, states that security deposit is going to continue to be used for new term of lease.
What is legally right to do with security deposit if guys asks for it?
I don't remember how it was given to us, only the amount. They used to pay rent mailing us two checks, 50% each.
Could it be legal to ask him to wait till the girl moves out before using the deposit for damages and split the reminder between them?
