tenant evicted middle of the month? Take whole month from security deposit?
I have a tenant who is always late on paying rent. I issued the tenant 2 notices to cease and 1 notice to quit. Then I filed for possession. He didn't show up to court then on the day of the lockout she went to court and the Judge ordered me to come and show cause.... Even though I did that already (on August 12)... I went today September 2nd and showed cause (quit notice, rent receipt). The judge gave the tenant 7 days extension for orderly removal. Now here is my question.
Can I deduct the September rent from the security deposit even though he is staying until September 9? I won't be able to find a tenant till the 1st of next month and that's why I want to do that.
