While we sympathized with their situation and wanted to help during the holiday season, we decided to stick with our policy of returning deposits only after move-out.

After dealing with my share of older rental properties, I have pretty much decided I only want new builds from now on. 

Soon after the start of the new year of 2022 and when tax season started getting busy, their quality of communication and response time start to degraded extremely bad.

This should be win-win and your 10 yr older self will appreciate it down the line.
