Hotel apartment contract

Q: Hello! Our company rented a serviced apartment for an employee with a monthly rent of 13000 yuan for one year, and paid a rental deposit equivalent to two months' rent of 26000 yuan. As stipulated in the contract, if the contract is unilaterally terminated without justifiable reasons, the other party is allowed to confiscate the rental deposit. After renting for nearly five months, the employees were transferred back to Japan to work, and they no longer need to rent this house. We propose to terminate the contract early. The other party thinks that this is not a proper reason to insist on confiscating the rental deposit of 26,000 yuan in full. In this case, can you ask the other party to return the rental deposit (or return half)? Hello!
