A security deposit is an amount of money given to the Landlord by the Tenant that can be used by the Landlord to offset unpaid rental payments due to a default or premature vacation by the Tenant, as well as for necessary repairs and cleaning. Most states limit the amount that can be collected to one or two months' rent. This cap may differ depending on the type of lease (more can be collected for a long-term lease, where the property is furnished, or where the Tenant will have a pet or waterbed, etc.).
In addition, some states require that the security deposit be retained in a separate account, and sometimes, in an interest-bearing account. A few states require that the Landlord inform the Tenant of the name of the banking institution where the funds will be held.

Do I have to refund a deposit on a deal gone bad?
A deposit may be either refundable or nonrefundable, depending on the wording used in the contract. Read the contract, if it states that the deposit is nonrefundable then you won't refund it. Otherwise you will likely have to refund the deposit, as the absence of a nonrefundability clause is usually taken to imply that the deposit was refundable. If there was no written contract it might just be best to refund it to avoid an argument and remember to use a written contract with an explicit nonrefundability clause in it next time if you want to avoid refunding the deposit.

Can a landlord keep a security deposit for damages rent and water even if the tenant files for bankruptcy?
Most likely. A security depsit is something that every state allows landlords to collect. The purpose of security deposits is to assure that a tenant pays rent on time and keeps the property in good condition. Half of the states place limitations on how much a security deposit can be. In addition, there are usually limitations on how a security deposit can be used by a landlord. Rent and water damages are the type fo thing that a security deposit is supposed to cover. You should look into how much damage there was as you may still be owed some money back. But the fact that you filed bankruptcy does not necessarily entitle you to your security deposit. It may be better to think of it as money already spent than a refund you are supposed to get back.
