Hopefully you kept the deposit to cover the costs as that is likely all you'll see.

If there is a fee for breaking the lease, then add that to the invoice you send him as part of 'returning' the deposit. 

Would you charge damages from the security deposit?

I will want my tenant's deposits to give as I SOLD my property, only because of how stressful dealing with them was.

Also, you should have her security deposit, so you could also use that to pay for the new lease, and tell the new landlord that you are paying it out of her security deposit.I would start by asking some probing questions to your tenant, such as, I'm considering paying for your 1st month to move out by xx date, do you have a new location picked out?

Once evicted if these items are left, the cost to dispose of them gets deducted from the deposit.

If tenant does not like the truth, we have records of when they paid, the condition of the unit at move-in and move-out, the record of security deposit deductions including photos.if a tenant wants to sue for the truth, I consider it a cost of doing business.  

I also require a non refundable deposit.

So the lender will fund the rehab but you need to give the GC or Subs a deposit out of pocket so they can get going. 

And what happens to the security deposits?
