What determines the amount of the security deposit?

The amount of the security deposit is based on the type of lease the tenant has. For instance, if rent is paid weekly, the deposit can be up to two weeks' rent; if rent is paid monthly, the deposit can be up to one and one-half the month's rent; if rent is paid less frequently than month-to-month, the amount of the security deposit can be up to two months' rent.
