When the refundable deposit is given to lessor, the lessee records a receivable, when it's returned, the lessee simply credits the receivable.
For non-refundable deposit, when it's earned by the lessor, the lessee debits expense and credits prepaid rent expense. So it seems that lessee doesn't really amortize the deposit unless in the fact pattern it says that's how the deposit gets earned. I guess.
