Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Witholding of security deposit after eviction judgement

If an eviction judgement is entered against me for nonpayment of rent

only, is my landlord entitled to keep my security deposit after I have

already paid any unpaid rent and lawyer/court fees as per the

judgement?
