your security deposit is for DAMAGES caused by the tenant. Note this is major damages (broken windows, holes in the walls), not normal wear and tear. This flood was caused by faulty Plumbing, not the tenant, so the tenant's security deposit should not be effected by this. Therefore the tenant should get his security deposit back, unless there were damages caused by the tenant themselves (not by the flood).

If you signed a lease and did not pay a security deposit is it valid?
Signing the lease and paying the security deposit are two separate issues. Furthermore, if you don't pay the security deposit then you could be in violation of the lease terms and be evicted if the landlord chooses. Normally you pay the security deposit before you and your landlord sign the lease, or work out a payment plan that you and your landlord agree to. If your landlord agreed to allow you to skip the security deposit then that part of the lease is waived and the rest of the lease stands.
