Forum / General Property Management / Tenant did not give 30 day notice

Our property is in the state of Alabama. Our leases indicate that they must give 30 days notice if they are moving. What recourse do we have? Can we keep their security deposit?

RE: Tenant did not give 30 day notice

Typically the security deposit can only be withheld to repair damage to the rental unit. You might consider asking an attorney if you have to return their deposit, but I would guess you'll have to pay it back to them if they ask for it.
