Divorced couple, one moves out

[Scotty Gifford]

A couple signed the lease last December, around September, the woman moved out.

She called in October asking for her deposit back. I told her that because her husband and her are still on the lease she was out of luck until then and he moved out as well. Now December is rolling around she is asking for her deposit back. The husband wishes to stay.

As long as he is able to pay, I am happy with him in the house.

The question is how do you handle the situation.

Move the husband to a month to month? A new one year with just him?

What about the deposit?
