L. c. 186, § 15B, are designed to insure that tenant monies are protected from potential diversion to the personal use of the landlord, earn interest for the tenant, and are kept from the reach of the landlord’s creditors.” Neihaus v. Maxwell, 54 Mass. App. Ct. 558, 561 (2002). To these stated purposes, our courts have found it appropriate to add that the provisions are designed to recognize the ownership of the deposit by the tenant and the landlord’s duty to hold the monies in trust. See Hampshire Village Assocs. v. District Ct. of Hampshire, 381 Mass. 148, 152, cert. denied sub nom. Ruhlander v. District Ct. of Hampshire, 449 U.S. 1062 (1980) (security deposit remains at all times the money of the tenant to be held by the landlord in trust in an interest-bearing account). These protections are best accomplished by requiring that the account be located in the Com*85monwealth, subject to the laws of the Commonwealth, and amenable to easy access by the tenant through local court process, should the need arise.
