Subsec. (c):
Relates only to residential real property and, therefore, is inapplicable to case concerning commercial property. 74 CA 460.
Subsec. (d):
Because plaintiff did not provide defendant with a forwarding address, as is required by the clear language of section, court properly granted defendant's motion to strike in regard to a claim for double damages. 80 CA 155. Landlord who mishandled tenant's security deposit and camouflaged the mishandling by giving tenant a fabricated accounting of damages instead of returning the actual security deposit is liable for double damages under Subdiv. (2); trial court misread Subdiv. (4) re notice of tenant's forwarding address to avoid sanction of double damages under Subdiv. (2). 141 CA 299. For the purposes of determining whether to award double damages under section, a court need only determine whether a landlord complied with the statutory requirements, and need not determine whether the landlord's reason for withholding the security deposit was justified. 170 CA 343. Subdiv. (2): Landlord asserting damages stemming from noncompliance with tenant's obligations must provide tenant with a written statement itemizing the nature and amount of damages, and nothing more is statutorily required when the amount of alleged damages far exceeds the security deposit and interest. 203 CA 449.
Subsec. (i):
Trial court erroneously calculated interest award by excluding advance rental payment for last month's rent from basis for calculation, since such advance rental payment is included in definition of “security deposit”. 141 CA 299.
