Months notice

If the lease has a month's notice requirement and the tenants only give 2 weeks are the tenants entitled to their full deposit back. Answers from those in the know only please.

Taken from Citizens information:

Deposits
As a landlord, you may withhold a deposit (or part of a deposit) only if:

The tenant has not given you proper notice when leaving
You have been left with outstanding bills (i.e., public utilities) or rent
The tenant has caused damage beyond normal wear and tear.

Open to interpretation obviously, my take on it would be that they're breaking the terms of the lease by not giving the proper notice and would withhold the full deposit.
