坐标加州。房客搬出，最后一个月（7月）房租未交。可否扣他们的定金？疫情期间，好像是租期到6月底的，房东不可以扣定金来抵偿未交房租。但是，我们房客的租期是到7月底。法律条文看不太懂。请教大家，谢谢。

SB-91 提到，不能扣定金抵偿未交房租，是到今年6月底：“This bill, for the duration of any tenancy that existed between March 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, would prohibit a landlord from applying a security deposit to satisfy COVID-19 rental debt, or applying a monthly rent payment to any COVID-19 rental debt other than the prospective month’s rent, unless the tenant agrees in writing to allow the landlord to apply that security deposit or monthly rent payment in that manner.”

此文也是这么说，但写文日期是今年2月，是某律所写的的，好像：
