all customers to some amount lower than $180 be an equally
effective method of protecting against a delinquent balance
left by a tenant with an immune landlord. Because the
District must refund the security deposit of each customer
who does not leave behind an outstanding balance, it cannot
take funds from one customer’s security deposit to cover a
delinquent balance left by another customer—or, if it does
do so as a temporary measure, it must eventually use its own
funds to replenish that first tenant’s deposit. Thus,
increasing every customer’s security deposit to some amount
lower than $180 will likely still leave the District vulnerable
to financial loss.
