Give her 30 days notice now, keep her security deposit, and send her a additional bill for damages to the unit in lieu of taking her to court for the damages.  

But he has clear advantage of getting much larger deposit (landlord in most jurisdictions is limited to collecting 1.5 or 2 months' rent payment, which he must place in an escrow vs. $8000-$10000 Scott can collect and use for any purpose the next day). 

If they won't pay, end their lease and deduct the cost from their deposit after they vacate.P.S.

I position my inspections as 'planning for future repairs/improvements' which mitigates that whole 'he's here to get my security deposit' mindset.And, I would rather have the tenant with me than to have him later claim that something was broken during the inspection.  

All things being equal, I would accept these applicants, but I would require them to pay a deposit equal to two months of rent.

They are even working on getting me the evicted tenant's security deposit, the missing JANUARY rent since the place is still empty, and covering the cost of my own manager re-listing the property.

In this way, I never need to be concerned about justifying my charge to their deposit because the damage is clear and obvious.
