Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

tenant

tenant moved out after 1 month with no notice given after signing 1 year lease. I am holding last month rent and security deposit $1400.00.

I think I am entitled to last month because she gave no notice, apt. is not rented yet ( almost 1 month empty).

Lease stated she forfeits her security if she breaks the lease.

Can I keep her security deposit also because she broke her lease?

Re: tenant

If the lease provides for forfeiture of the security deposit upon a breach of the lease, you may keep it.
