On board "fights" between employers and employees is really treading in shallow water. Again, I don't know Canadian law, but here in the States an employer has to be extremely careful about what they say regarding previous employees due to legal risk.

Actually, the deposit helps to protect the landlord in case the tenant causes damage and skips out. However, the tenant's liability does not stop at the amount of the deposit.
For example, if the deposit is $800, and the actual damage is $1200, the tenant is legally responsible to pay the additional $400.
