The parties and the Parkmerced court assume that because the TIER charge is a fee it must be a “security” within the definition of security given in subdivision (b) of Civil Code section 1950.5. It is apparent, however, that *141the Legislature included the terms “payment, fee, deposit or charge” in the definition to ensure that a landlord would not be able to use those or similar terms rather than “security” for a charge and thereby avoid the prohibition of nonrefundable securities and the limits placed on the use of a security by that statute. Application of the principle of ejusdem generis and consideration of the remainder of the statute compels that conclusion.
