The security deposit is made payable to all people who signed the lease. The owner will deduct any rent that is due from the security deposit. he will also deduct any charges for cleaning, damages, and repairs. You should receive any itemized statement. If your rent is current the only charges will be for cleaning, damages and repairs to put the apartment back in A+ shape.
By law the security deposit check will have both of your names on it. Both of you will have to go to the bank together to cash the check . If she refuse to sign the check, then you will have to take her to small claims court. DO NOT SIGN HER NAME TO THE CHECK; THIS IS CONSIDER AS FORGERY.
I had a similar situation were one roommate moved out and left the other one holding the bag. She wanted me to deduct the full month rent from the security deposit and make the check payable only to her. I told her I could not do that, security deposit can not be used in lieu of rent.
