                  This understanding of the nature of the security deposit is consistent with recent revisions
       to the URLTA, which clarify that the security deposit remains the property of the tenant and that
       the landlord’s interest in the deposit is limited to a security interest. REVISED URLTA (2015) §
       1202(a)(1) & cmt., 7B U.L.A. at 259-60 (2018).

                  As Silver and amicus curiae point out, the Court of Appeals erroneously stated that Silver
       did not assert that he did not cause excessive damage to the apartment. Silver, 10 Wn. App. 2d at
       680. In fact, the complaint alleged that “Mr. Silver was not responsible for the allegedly excessive
       wear and tear to the premises.” CP at 5.
