There are several issues here.

The security deposit under Missouri law cannot be non-refundable.

The landlord may be entitled to a 30 day notice to terminate a lease.

A lease of two years or more under Missouri law could be assigned by a tenant without the landlords permission. The landlord could wind up with tenants that the landlord has no say so about. That's why it a bad idea to offer multi year leases for residential rental property.

Arrangements to move out of your house is immaterial as to renting out the house, it must be vacant in order to rent it.

Your damages if any, would be determined by the terms of the lease. You did not state if first months rent was paid or not. If it was, that might be the amount of damages you could claim.

Hopefully, the tenants paid first months rent when they signed the lease.

Moreover, the effective date of the list is a material issue here. If it differs from the date of signing, the landlord may not yet have an enforceable lease.
