Deposit for new tenant added to the lease agreement

I have a couple who are tenants in a house with the deposit lodged with the DPS under their name. The wife would like to have her mother move in with them. I will be creating a new lease agreement with the mothers name and current tenant so that all tenants over 18 are on the lease. However, I was wondering if I need to re-lodge the deposit as it is currently in only the couples name? Is it possible to have a lease with 3 tenants but the deposit only in the name of two, or do I need to claim the deposit to re-lodge with all 3 tenants names.
