Need help for a friend

[Michael Hernandez]

Hi I have a friend who is buying his first duplex using a VA loan he's in the process of evicting a tenant because he needs to move into one of the units but is having problems the tenant is on a month to month lease and he gave her a 30 day notice to leave. Since then she's hired a lawyer because she felt that it's unfair that shes only getting 30 days notice. she supposed to move out on the 26th of November she wants him to use the security deposit as last month rent but my friend runs the risk of the place being trashed if he does accept this will he still be able to fight for more money if the place does end up trashed and is there anything he can do to fight her to get the last months rent
