If the landlord withholds in bad faith
Failure to return the deposit with a statement within 14 days forfeits the landlord's right to withhold any portion; if the failure is willful, the landlord is liable for double the amount wrongfully withheld plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
Landlord must return the deposit with an itemized deduction statement within 14 days of move-out (60 days for seasonal, non-primary-residence rentals). Missing the deadline forfeits the right to withhold; willful violation doubles the penalty. No statewide cap; municipalities may require interest.
