The roommate who paid the deposit is breaking the lease

[Amanda Thompson]

The tenant leaving early says he's the one who paid the deposit. He's wondering when he'll get it back (he knows it is dependent on damages clean up etc). I told him not until after the lease is over, and if the lease is renewed, after that. But is he the one who gets the deposit back if he breaks the lease? I know I need to re-read their lease but I don't think it mentions this specifically.
