Do you really deal with interest for security deposit?

[Sam Leon]

Was just wondering, if many of here would deal with paying interests for security deposits?

In our Florida standard FAR/BAR residential lease contract there is this...

"If Tenant has paid a security deposit or advance rent the following provisions apply:
A. Landlord shall hold the money in a separate interest-bearing or non-interest-bearing account in a Florida banking institution for the benefit of Tenant. If Landlord deposits the money in an interest-bearing account, Landlord must pay Tenant interest of at least 75% of the annualized average interest paid by the bank or 5% per year simple interest, whichever Landlord chooses. Landlord
cannot mix such money with any other funds of Landlord or pledge, mortgage, or make any other use of such money until the money is actually due to Landlord; or
B. Landlord must post a surety bond in the manner allowed by law. If Landlord posts the bond, Landlord shall pay Tenant 5% interest per year. At the end of the Lease, Landlord will pay Tenant, or credit against rent, the interest due to Tenant. No interest will be due Tenant if Tenant wrongfully terminates the Lease before the end of the Lease Term. If Landlord rents 5 or more dwelling units, then within 30 days of Tenant’s payment of the advance rent or any security
deposit, Landlord must notify Tenant in writing of the manner in which Landlord is holding such money, the interest rate, if any, that Tenant will receive, and when such payments will be made."

So do you all put the security deposits aside and pay the tenant back with interest?
