In that post I was speaking more to Photon's example where the rental period had already come into effect and the tenant had taken possession.
In the OP's example, the tenant is still liable for November's rent because they didn't provide sufficient notice to terminate the agreement for October 31st. Of course the landlord is also required to mitigate their losses by attempting to rent the unit to someone else for November.
Like I said above, the landlord might not be able to unilaterally keep the deposit, but they can absolutely get a judgement against the tenant for any losses they incur for November.
