Seller didn’t transfer full deposit.

[Frank Garcia]

I purchased a duplex in California with tenants in place. Seller disclosed leases and may have kept half of deposit. The lead agreement I received shows see original lease for amount t of deposit. I didn’t read this section. I received $1700.00 for both units in deposit which is stated at closing docs. Tenant is leaving g and wants $2000 she said she gave a deposit. I have documentation that’s states she gave $850.00 on escrow statement. But I don’t have original lease. Do I have to give her $2000. Not sure if she has original lease. Even if she does have it, am I on the hook for the 2k?
