Last month’s rent deposit is included in “security deposit.”

Accounting31-day framework

Unused prepaid rent and claimed amounts are subject to the statutory accounting/refund process.

Separate prepaid rent from damage deductions

A final statement may mix prepaid rent, unpaid rent and damage claims. Reconstruct those categories separately so the same money is not counted twice.
