Rent Increase and Security Deposit Question

Good Morning BiggerPockets!

I work with a management company and team of investors in the Philadelphia area. We have received mixed feedback on security deposit/last month increases that go along with annual rent increase. So my question is as follows:

When rent is increased, is it common practice to increase the security deposit and last months rent to match?

Looking forward to your responses!

On vacant properties, yes. On occupied properties, no.
