We agree with the court that a security deposit, whether commercial or residential, is the tenant’s property and that the landlord holds it for the tenant’s benefit subject to the tenant’s fulfilling all its obligations under the lease. Indeed, a security deposit by definition is “[m]oney deposited by tenant with landlord as security for full and faithful performance by [the] tenant of [the] terms of lease, including damages to premises. It is refundable unless the tenant has caused damage or injury to the property or has breached the terms of the tenancy or the laws governing the tenancy.” Black’s Law Dictionary (6th Ed. 1990).
