926 charsDuring parts of 1978 and 1979, plaintiffs were tenants in a building owned by defendant, Mark Foley, on Washington Avenue in Portland. In late 1979, plaintiffs moved from defendant’s building and, on April 25,1980, brought suit against defendant seeking monetary and declaratory relief on various claims arising out of their former tenancy. Primarily, plaintiffs sought damages for defendant’s breach of the implied warranty and covenant of habitability in rental property guaranteed by 14 M.R. S.A. § 6021(2) (1980) and for defendant’s willful and wrongful retention of plaintiffs’ $160.00 security deposit in violation of 14 M.R.S.A. § 6084 (1980). Pertinent to the security deposit issue, plaintiffs sought damages equal to double the amount of their security deposit plus court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees allowed under 14 M.R.S.A. § 6034(2) (1980). Section 6034(2) provides: Double damages for willful retention.
