The plaintiffs concede that they never gave the defendants $3700 as a security deposit. During negotiations for the sublease between the plaintiffs and the Riveros, the defendants became unwilling to accept the plaintiffs’ credit. Because of that, the defendants refused to return the $3700 security deposit that had been given to them by the Riveros. To remedy that situation, the plaintiffs paid that same amount to the Riveros, and Nancy Rivero testified that the defendants understood that the deposit in their hands then belonged to the plaintiffs. That was sufficient evidence for the referee to find that the $3700 deposit in the hands of the defendants properly belonged to the plaintiffs at the termination of their tenancy.
