The District Court, apparently unaware of the amendments of § 15B here relevant, effective September 1,1978, as to existing as well as future security deposits (see St. 1977, c. 979, §§ 1, 2; St. 1978, c. 553, §§ 2, 3), applied the earlier text prescribing double damages (see St. 1970, c. 666, § 1, as amended by St. 1972, c. 639, § 1). That mistake would not be repeated on appeal of the small claims judgment to the Superior Court, and the present declaratory action concerns itself properly with the current version of § 15B and the corresponding treble bond provisions of G. L. c. 218, § 23, similarly effective on September 1,1978 (see St. 1977, c. 979, §§ 2, 4). 5
