Tenants often think this would be a good idea. What if you leave the place a mess or don't move once the deposit is consumed? As your landlord I would begin eviction as soon as you didn't pay your rent.

I only know Massachusetts law, but we have one of the most strict security deposit laws around, so this should be good for any state.

If you evict for non-payment, the tenant still owes the remaining months, although you have an obligation to attempt to rent the place. If you don't, then you can apply the deposit to the arrearage. You'll need to write them a letter stating the accounting, including interest on the deposit. If they have not given you a forwarding address, mail it to the subject address.

Yes, to secure any possible damages, not just if you break the lease.

Do you have to give back the full security deposit if you dont have a renters permit?

If you rented out anything under false pretenses, and you took money, and it was illegal for you to be a landlord, that is called fraud. It is a felony in this state. If you keep the security deposit and do not give it back immediately that is called stealing. The amount you withold determines the length of your prison sentence. In prison, you get three hots and a cot.

How long does a landlord have to return a security deposti in Georgia?

Each state is different, Im sorry I dont know the specific time for Georgie, but the general rule is within 30 days, the landlord has to contact the ex tenant with either the security deposit or an accounting of where he spent the money fixing up his claimed damages to his unit. Some states have as a law, if the landlord fails to do this within the prescribed timelimit, TREBLE damages, or three times the amount of the deposit. Check with your states Attorney General for these laws.
