Your State Law (§ 55-248.24 Fire or casualty damage) determines what actions either the landlord or tenant must take. Basically...

“If the rental agreement is terminated by either tenant or landlord... the landlord shall return all security deposits in accordance with § 55-248.15:1 and prepaid rent...”

The landlord has to account for the security deposit from the date of the fire casualty to settle the security deposit claim with the tenant within the State time frame.

Withholding the tenants security deposit past the State deadline for settlement will subject the landlord to damages and attorney fees.
