Title Company Forgot To Include Security Deposit for Rental Unit

My title company forgot to include the security deposit for the tenant I inherited and when I asked her if she could get it she provided a signed statement from the seller that there was no security deposit left (he had used it for late payments, etc). However, I believe it is illegal to use a tenant's security deposit while they are still residing in the residence. Is there any legal action I can take? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your time.
