I received a first month payment, a security deposit and a last month rent payment for a customer who is contracted with us for 3 years. Do I treat the last month payment as a security deposit?

Thank you

No, the security deposit is a liability and the last month's rent is unearned revenue (revenue which will be recognized later when the tenant moves out).
