Since due their cancellation you have lost rent from other tenants, you can forfeit the advance rent.

Did you enter in to any agreement with the prospective tenant? If so what are the terms of the agreement?

Try to have amicable settlement with the tenant, your claim is justified in the given facts.

Sir,
It will solely depend on the written agreement. Whether any receipt has been issued for the advance, the terms of the receipt will be important.
Good Luck,

Did you execute a rental agreement in this regard?, whether such agreement contains the said clause of forfeiture?, Donot run a risk and be so narrow minded about one month rent, better refund and look for a better person and atleast now enter into an agreement with clear terms and conditions on such events.
