Hello Mickey,

There seems to be a word missing from the sentence, so I assume that is the main reason you are having trouble understanding the sentence. I would guess that the missing word is "think":

I don't think you are going to get your damage deposit back...

A "damage deposit" might also be called a "security deposit". Look at definition 4 for the noun "deposit" here.

Perhaps the error in the test sentence will be corrected.
