Doesn't matter. Since one tenant has not yet vacated, there is no 21 day notice. That clock doesn't start ticking until the unit is vacant and you have possession. If the other tenant still has keys and belongings in there, the place is still occupied (if only by his stuff for now). Tell him to keep paying the rent and the place is still his. Let her know that since the place isn't vacant, you don't return any deposits until it is. And then, since there were 2 tenants on the lease, you return the deposit to both tenants jointly. Let them work out who takes what money.
