Yes, unless you caused the fire.

There's no specific term for this: the landlord is refusing to return security deposit. Either he has the right to because of damage beyond normal wear and tear or he needs to be sued for such money. And if you win in such suit you may be entitled to up to 3 times the amount of the deposit.
A landlord is only entitled to keep all or a portion of a security deposit to cover any substantial damage to the property or to cover lost rent. They may also be entitled to a portion of the deposit if the apartment was not cleaned. If the landlord has not provided you with a list of damages or reasons as to why they're keeping all or some of your security deposit, you will need to file a small claims lawsuit against the landlord.
