If I were in the situation I would hopefully have used a Deposit to Hold agreement and I would keep the deposit, cut ties with the already not-understanding tenant, and search for someone who exhibits the qualities I value in a tenant (namely their Mindset).You have either a crystal clear case to do that, or a fairly clear case (depending on whether or not you used a deposit to hold agreement).
