In my area there is a interest paid only on the amount above one month rent value but I have found with smoking or any other damages I have not yet paid any interest.

Print your local tenant laws and place into a 3ring binder - flip over and put the state tenant laws there to be your business bible, you will need this often. --75.94.xxx.xxx

here is the answer:

INTEREST ON THE SECURITY DEPOSIT After the landlord receives a security deposit, they must deposit it in a Maryland bank within 30 days. This deposit must be in a separate interest-bearing account that contains only security deposit money. If the deposit was $50 or more, simple interest of the current rate per year will accrue to the tenant at six-month intervals from the time the tenant paid the deposit.

Thanks to those that responded --73.213.xxx.xxx

FYI...at least in MD you pay the interest rate in effect for the year. In MD the interest rate was just lowered. --173.66.x.xxx
