If you had already moved out of the unit when the landlord granted access to the new tenant, then the answer is no. If you were living in the unit when the landlord let the new tenant in, then you are entitled to a proration of rent for the days when your possession was interrupted. Remember that in a court of law, you must prove damages, so your damages appear to be only the days of rent where another tenant had access to the unit. Since your state may provide additional protection to tenants, check with an attorney or tenant advocacy group.

Can landlord in state of ga keep most of deposit if disabled tenant cleaned perfect and needs money?
A landlord is only entitled to keep all or a portion of a security deposit to cover any substantial damage to the property or to cover lost rent. They may also be entitled to a portion of the deposit if the apartment was not cleaned. If the landlord has not provided you with a list of damages or reasons as to why they're keeping all or some of your security deposit, you will need to file a small claims lawsuit against the landlord.

Can a Manager or Landlord Wrongful withhold part of a security deposit even if you never moved in?
If an apartment is reserved for you, because you paid a security deposit, that means that the landlord is not able to rent it to anyone else. Hence, when you then decide not to move in after all, the landlord has still lost the rent which he might have collected by renting that apartmnent to a different renter. So yes, he can withhold the deposit. It is not a good idea to make a deposit on an apartment that you are not actually going to move into.
