Tell her that you will meet her at your house/apartment this Friday. You will have her deposit with you, in cash, and that you want to go thru the entire place. IF there is NO damages, and IF she has ALL her possessions out, you will return her deposit to her, in return for the keys back.

Even if she leaves you a small amount of damage, or a small amount of her possessions there, get those keys and give her the deposit. That gets you possession back, and I'm sure you can get rid of her stuff and repair any damages fairly quickly. Even if you lose money on this deal, you have POSSESSION BACK, and that's what you want right NOW.

She failed to pay me the rents for 6-7 months long, and that is why she got evicted. Further, she is using COVID-19 and asking for Security deposit for keys. I guess I have no choice but to accept her proposal.

So why did your T not pay you for 6 months? When did you first start NJ's eviction procedures? Does it take several months to get a T legally evicted in your state, or did you get conned by your T into letting her stay longer as she kept promising to pay you.

It is long story and for multiple reasons. So, what I have to focus on now is whether or not should I accept her proposed deal?

If I were you, I would give her deposit back and finish all the fucking crazy issues with her. I am facing the same issue, there is no way to talk. Whatever I said, she just responded back to me "I will sue the landlord". Oh my gosh, what is wrong with these tenants? I know my tenant is trying to scare me. But what can I co? I don't want to get more trouble.
