Tenant Fails to Comply with Occupation Terms

I have a tenant who signed a lease.  He provided the first month's rent but not the security deposit as the lease requiries.  I would not allow him to occupy until he provided the security deposit.  He is still balking.  Can I simply rescind the lease and move on?  To be clear, he has never occupied the property and I won;t give him the keys until he complies with the lease occupation terms.  Thanks!

I would give him notice that if the deposit is not paid (sufficient notice per your laws) you will be terminating the lease. If it still is not paid send him a lease termination. good luck.
