If the landlord accepted the payment (and you can prove this), it is not the tenant's fault that the landlord lost his rent. If the renter was sent a refund (not sure how this would happen), then yes, the refund belongs to the landlord -- pay him.

Best of luck.*****The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
