At oral argument before this court, the plaintiff contended that the trial court properly determined that the plaintiff was entitled to hold the tenants’ security deposits because all the tenants attorned to the plaintiff with respect to their leases and, therefore, the tenants’ participation in these proceedings was unnecessary. Attornment is “[t]he agreement of a person to recognize a third party as a permissible successor party to a contract; most often, the *464agreement of a tenant to pay rent to a new landlord, especially a mortgagee who has foreclosed.” Black’s Law Dictionary (6th Ed. 1990). There is absolutely no evidence in the record regarding attornment between the plaintiff and the tenants and, therefore, the plaintiff’s contention is without merit.
