Assuming this is residential, I'd keep the sec deposit and make him pay rent until 30 days after new tenant is found. Two year residential lease is too long IMO, if a year was signed he may have 2nd thoughts on breaking it.

Is that legal? I always thought that in a standard lease, you can only collect rent from previous tenant until you find a new one. Also, if you're still collecting rent from him, why would you be entitled to the sec deposit?
