No 30 day notice, do I need to return deposit back to tenant?

[Frank Nguyen]

I had a month to month tenant that vacated the premises with a 3 day notice via text message. Do I need to return the security deposit?

Most places they have to give 30 days' notice.  So if they failed to do that and didn't pay March's rent, do an inspection and send them a list of any repairs/cleaning and include March's rent as a cost.  Take photos of the condition of the place when you do the inspection and any problems.
