Tenant told me this morning that they will be leaving tomorrow. They owe me some money from last month reat and also already 10 days late for this month rent. I have their 1 month security deposit. How do I deal with this situation?Do I have right to keep their security deposit and ask for half month rent which is over due.
Section 213 and 213A of the RTA seem most relevant to your situation:

Was the security deposit submitted to the Bond authority? If so(as it should) I believe you need to submit an application for some of that bond to come to you for rent in arrears
Tenancy law varies from state to state so you will need to refer to the tenancy tribunal in your state.
Where abouts are you located?
