In addition to the clear language of the statute, the legislative history of the statute supports the court’s interpretation that a tenant is first required to provide a forwarding address to a landlord to be afforded the opportunity to receive the double damages remedy under § 47a-21 (d) (2). While the bill, which later became § 47a-21, was in front of the judiciary committee, George Guertin, vice president of the Hartford Property Owners Association, testified about the need for the forwarding address requirement: “Part of this bill should state that a forwarding address should be sent to the owner of the complex. . . . Well, we like the idea of the fine, but we also would like a little cooperation on the part of the tenant . . . .” Conn. Joint Standing Committee Hearings, Judiciary, Pt. 2, 1979 Sess., pp. 655-56. It is apparent that the legislature agreed with Guertin’s testimony because when § 47a-21 was enacted, it included the language that requires a tenant to provide a landlord with a forwarding address.
