Security Deposit Return

[Michael Morrison]

I have a property that is coming out of lease. All of the fees, deposits and rents were paid up front at the beginning of the lease, by the tenants employer. The tenant feels like any security deposit returned funds should go to them. The employer is telling me that it goes back to employer. I think it goes back to employer as well. What is correct? (Side note: Tenant and employer had falling out and tenant says he has not been paid for final check) I don't want in the middle. Seems like issue between them?
