Be very clear that they must transfer the deposit along with a complete set of tenant records (application, lease, payment ledger, etc.). 

Consider all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
