Multiple tenants security deposit dispute

[Andrew Millard]

Never ran into this issue before. I have a mom and daughter and that are moving out not on good terms with each other. Mom paid the security deposit and thinks she’s entitled to it I said we would normally split it in half if I didn’t have agreement from both parties, daughter wants it split. Both are equal on the lease, I don’t care who gets the security deposit and they will be getting one back. Just curious how anyone would handle this in the future I would probably have them sign off who is owed the security deposit
