Question

I signed a lease in 2013 and gave the property manager a security dep of $1600. In 2014 I added my husband to the lease. Since adding him to the lease I have had to leave the residence due to an incident where I now have a permanent injunction against my husband! My husband is now living at our prior residence with his girlfriend and her 3 kids! My husband is going to sign a new lease, tomorrow! where

The property manager is telling me I am NOT entitled to get my security deposit from her company. Is this correct??
