Tenant agrees to the following procedures regarding the tenants’ obligations to be secured by the security deposit. In the event that the contractor shall be required to apply the amount of the security deposit to any obligations of the tenant, the tenant will immediately, upon demand, deposit additional funds with the contractor to bring the amount equal to the amount deposited prior thereto. Failure to do so shall, in contractors’ option, be deemed to be cause for termination of lease. Interest will not be paid on tenants’ deposit. Security deposits are refundable to the Tenant thirty (30) days after Contractor takes possession of the Premises, providing that the following obligations have been fulfilled:
