Yes! If the back rent and repairs are less than the deposit you have to give them the remainder of the deposit. But you could always makeup some bullcrap fee to eat up the rest of it like most landlords do.

No ! Not as long as you have it to give back to them when they move out. If back rent or money for damages is owed then you would deduct that from the deposit before you return it to them.

Store gift cards? No, they must be spent at the store with which they are affiliated. Borders cards must be spend at Borders. If you spend less than the value of the card, some stores will give you cash back for the difference. Most, however, will leave the balance on the card. You can always sell the card for face value to a friend or someone that will use it. You get the cash to deposit, they get the card to spend.
