Question about tenant and using security deposit for rent

[Charlie Moore]

Should you ever use security deposit for rent??!!???

- Tenant left the house at the end of the leasing term and ultimately owed me 250.00 in back rent and fees..

He is Now bugging me and Texting me for his security deposit of 800.00 back.

People are telling me, I should ultimately deduct the 250.00 and pay him the rest of the security deposit?

What would you do in this situation?
