Anyways he told me he's leaving in 2 weeks because of the storm, I have his security deposit still.

I want him to sign a paper saying he understand this storm was unusually bad and everyones basements got flooded and he agrees not to sue us. Before giving him his security deposit back.

Good idea or bad idea?
