If the lease required NeedsSpace to make deposits and set up a “repair and maintenance reserve,” the deposits would be recognized as an asset and reimbursed at the conclusion of the lease, less any repair and maintenance costs (ASC 840-10-5-9a to 9c).

Therefore, NeedsSpace would not be able to set up an account that allows them to account for future
