1974 U. Ill. L.F. 569, 586. The lessor owes the lessee a debt in the amount of the security deposit at the termination of the lease. The security deposit is described as held for the benefit of the lessor because it protects the lessor’s vulnerability under the lease. A majority of jurisdictions apply the debt- or-creditor model to security deposits when analyzing landlord-tenant relationships. See Wiskup v. Liberty Buick Co., Inc., 953 F.Supp. 958, 972 (N.D.Ill.1997); Comment, Interest on Security Deposits-Benefit or Burden to Tenant?, 26 UCLA L.Rev. 396, 400-1 (1978) (hereinafter Comment).
