However, § 11 (a) of the Rent Control Act provides for civil remedies where any person “demands, accepts, receives or retains any payment of rent in excess of the maximum lawful rent.” A landlord may demand rent in excess of the maximum lawful rent and may treat all or part of a security deposit as rent retained in such a way that he has violated § 11 (a) of the Rent Control Act.
