California has specific instructions and ordinances regarding the Security Deposit. You may use an appropriate portion of the Security Deposit for unpaid rent. The State law also says that a landlord is entitled to 30 day written notice of the tenants Intent to Vacate. However, this stipulation may or may not be enforced based upon conditions of the relationship and what written contract existed between the landlord and the tenant. You as landlord were responsible to document and return any unused portion of the Security Deposit within 21 days of the tenants returning the premise to your control. If you did not comply you may be liable to pay up to 3 times the value of the Security Deposit. See California info link.
