The security deposit remains in place as it is to protect you against certain damages you might suffer. Its amount would not change. What rent increase you give depends upon numerous factors that we know nothing about i your case and on your gut feeling as to how much is reasonable and wil not drive them away. They can always ask to be month to month tenants.
