Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Massachusetts

commercial lease security deposit

I vacated commercial property in compliance with terms of lease, but landlord refuses to return my security deposit which is in a separate interest bearing account. Can I do motion for attachment of the bank account at same time I file complaint? Does it have to be trustee process? I'm confused.
