Taking unpaid rent from Security Deposit.....?

[Sarah Jukes]

Hi,

Section 8 tenant lease started Friday, following day they decided to move out! The lease is between us and the tenant. Section 8 were to pay the rent (but the first payment takes a few weeks to be deposited and is back paid). 

Security Deposit was via tenants a CA cash aid program (CalWORKS). Now we have to find a new tenant. 

Lease states unpaid rent can come out of security deposit. What do we as landlord provide to do this? We can take 1 month right?
