I don't think you can charge her security deposit for the rent for Jan. She is doing exactly what you,in writing, gave her a choice to do. Either pay December's rent or move out. She is choosing to move. So her lasts months rent, which you already have, will go for Dec. Your notice to her, changed the lease terms by YOU terminating the lease, effective at the end of the 5 days. You can still charge damages, clean up, etc. against her deposit, but not rent for Jan. If you had not given that notice, then,yes, I would agree that she would need to give you the 30 days notice, and you could charge her for Jan. rent. Maybe others can weigh in on this, as I am not 100% sure on about this scenario.

she did not give 30 days notice, she wanted to renew contract and she default not paying, the contract say you have to give 30 days notice! I'm not sure I think somebody here can explain this, but I think because she did not give 30 days notice she could be charged with January?

You got the deposit and the last month. That is all you are going to get. Let it go.

You gave her notice to pay rent or move out, and she has decided to move out. She does not have to give you 30 day notice because you gave the pay or quit notice. You have last months rent, do the security deposit statement on time and re-rent the place.
