What does a person do if the landlady won't give you a letter of satisfaction after you moved out within the time set by the judge What should you do when the security deposit is used for owed rent?
Unless it was ordered by the judge at the time of the eviction hearing, I am not aware of any requirement that the landlord must give you a 'letter of satisfaction." As for the deposit - Was any rent owed by you at the time you moved out? Was there any damage to the premises that required that the security deposit be used to repair it? If not, you can take the landlord to Small Claims Court.

Does a landlord have a right to hold back a security deposit if the tenant dies?
Death of the tenant terminates the tenancy. The landlord should handle the security deposit according to the law, which likely means forwarding it to the estate. If rent is owed, the landlord could apply the deposit to the arrearage, and so notify the executor. There is an argument that the decedent owes rent for the next month (in a month-to-month tenancy) or the remainder of the lease (if there is a lease). However, the landlord has an obligation to try to rent the unit.

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.
