You terminate the current lease, and you offer a new lease only to the existing two girls, if they can cover it. If they are getting a new roommate then screen her like you would a normal tenant.

The problem comes if the 3rd girl decides to give you the middle finger and not leave the house as requested. In that case (check with your lawyer) I believe you have to legally evict ALL tenants from the house, but you can probably do this in a way such that the other 2 tenants aren't really evicted. (Eg they sign a lease to "move back in" the same day they are evicted, so they never really leave).

Also, re: security deposit, you probably want to refund the girl her full 1/3 and get another 1/3 from the existing girls or the new co-tenant.
