Tenant not paying last month rent-Told me to use Security deposit

[Manny Andrade]

Hello BP family, this is my first post.

I have 5 rental properties, all SFH, in a B to B+ neighborhood. I currently have a tenant who gave me 30 day notice on 10/21 to move out on 11/31 and is refusing to pay the last months (11/1) rent but telling to take it out of the security deposit. This will leave me no recourse for any damages found during the walk through. Is there any action I can take to make him pay the last month rent or am I stuck with using the security deposit? Appreciate any feedback.
