10We also note that it is not immediately clear which
portions of G. L. c. 186 are implicated by the ALR statute's
reference to eviction proceedings. For example, eviction
actions under G. L. c. 186 may implicate G. L. c. 186, § 15B, to
the extent such evictions involve impermissible penalties, see
Commonwealth v. Chatham Dev. Co., 49 Mass. App. Ct. 525, 527-528
(2000), or the failure to return a security deposit
posteviction, see Vinton v. Demetrion, 19 Mass. App. Ct. 948,
949 (1985). Further, we have held that a violation of the
security deposit statute may be asserted as a defense to a
summary process action for possession under G. L. c. 239. See
Meikle v. Nurse, 474 Mass. 207, 213-214 (2016).
