My understanding is that in operating leases if the lessee pays a Security deposits to lessor then the lessor records it as "unearned revenue" if it is non refundable and as "refundable deposit"liability for refundable deposits.

now for the NONREFUNDABLE security deposits

during the term of lease should the lessor record the revenue evenly over the life of lease or will the lessor only record revenue at the end of lease?

thanks

As far as I understand, the lessor only recognizes a nonrefundable deposit as revenue once it has been earned.  So when the deposit is received, it will be considered to be unearned revenue until the lessor considers the deposit to be earned.
