    A quick question?

    Seeing as she still hasn't given her keys back or removed her stuff, her deposit should cover the rent that is due from her next month?

    Unfortunatley not, Deposit is only for when your actual lease is terminated or run out, if she hasnt paid for next month then i'd start looking for a new tennant, Does her phone ring or do your messages go through to her phone when you try? If not you should cover your ass and tell the police your very worried that you got a strange text saying shes moving out and that you havent seen or heard from her since then, and that all of her stuff is still in the apartment, That way the police will hopefully track her down and you'll have the all clear to dump her crap as long as she hasnt paid rent for next month, but no the deposit wont cover next month unless you have a very understanding landlord

    I assume she'll lose her deposit though?

    The deposit you receive from the person who moves in is yours, yes. The landlord still has hers. If she doesnt move her stuff or respond to calls or give any concrete info and with the landlords permission, change the locks, let her take the stuff on request, but have a witness there when she does, you control it now, try not to damage anything. Photograph everything and keep a copy of the original lease. Send emails as well so you have something to back up what was said.
