I would send the bill to the tenant. I would itemize it and put it this way. "The total cost of replacement was $nnnn. This amount was pay from your damage deposit. I expect you will include $nnnn along with your next rent payment to bring your damage deposit back up to the required amount equal to 1 month." That way you have it.. regardless. If they don't pay it..send a late rent notice. If they decide to move ..you have documented the amount from the deposit.
