Problem voucher tenant threatens to squat

My cursed rental continues. 

Balto County voucher tenant stopped paying rent in sept. Gave til end of sept to pay or be evicted. Went to courthouse on Oct1 to file, but law had just changed saying I needed to use their form to give notice to tenant. So wouldn't have been able to file until mid-october now with lease up at 10/31. 

Decided to just have the tenant move out when the lease was up and not file yet, probably a mistake in hindsight. 

Tenant texts me today saying bring security deposit to final walkthrough or he can't move out. I say, 'you didn't pay rent for 2 months so the deposit will be kept'. He then says bring it or i won't leave and spend 4 months evicting me. 

I have a lot of choice words for the type of person this is. 

I am just going to refund the deposit so he gets the heck out, but do I have any other recourse with the housing agency maybe? I want to file a complaint. This guy should not be able to prey on other landlords with the support of the state/county.
