The security deposit should be applied to the arrearage (including any court costs), and any remainder returned to the tenant.
Does the landord need to notify you how your deposit will be applied.

How are security deposits refunded when one of the tenants remains at the apartment and the other is moving out?
usually the security is refunded at the end of the lease term. If one tenant moves out before the end of the lease, he'll have to wait until the end to get his security back. If the lease is up and one tenant moves out and the other one stays, the initial security payment should be refunded then and the tenant who stays should sign a new lease and put up a new security deposit.
When a tenant vacates an apartment is it right for the landlord to deduct money from the security deposit to pay to clean and paint the apartment for the next tenant?
The purpose of a security deposit is to pay the last month's rent in the event that a tenant stops paying and has to be evicted, not to pay for cleaning and painting. It would only be reasonable to use a security deposit for this purpose if the departing tenant left the apartment in extremely bad condition, requiring an abnormal expense to restore it.
Where to find a copy of the law that states the deposit can be used for the last months rent if your evicted?
Your state laws should have a section about "landlord and tenant" or the like. There are also many self-help books available about landlord/tenant laws. In Massachusetts, for example, the law defines both a security deposit and a damage deposit and ONLY the security deposit can be applied to delinquent rent, and the damage deposit remains the property of the tenant until the landlord proves damage to the premises and the costs to repair them.
