The landlord does not seriously dispute the judge’s finding that it was not entitled to the $135 which it deducted from the security deposit for back rent allegedly owed. It contends, however, that the deduction of $135 was made in good faith and points to language in the statute permitting a deduction for “unpaid rent.” The landlord argues that it should not be held liable under § 15B merely because a court later found the deduction improper. *80
