I believe OP was asking what liability the tenants have for any messes/damage they didn't bother to clean up prior to the 1st, despite knowing that the LL would boot them on the 1st. It was a bit confusing but that's what I got out of it.
To the OP, the tenants had notice that the LL could kick them out on the 1st. They should have made arrangements to have all cleaning/repairs done prior to that date. It sounds like they left the place quite a mess and will likely be on the hook for their entire security deposit plus some.
