Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Security Deposit Issue

What's the law regarding the security deposit of a rental agreement for an apartment when one of the tenants moves out but the roommate remains? Does the one who moves out forfeit their portion of the deposit? If a new roomate moves in, does the new roommate pay the tenant who moved out their portion of the security deposit?
