In a civil action brought by a tenant against a landlord, claiming a violation of the security deposit statute, G. L. c. 186, § 15B, the tenant lacked standing to challenge the provisions governing reletting and buyout fees as well as the provision authorizing attorney's fees in the event of default, where she did not show that she suffered a distinct injury or harm as a result of the landlord's actions; moreover, even if the tenant could establish injury, her claim would fail because the statute did not prohibit a landlord from charging reletting or buyout fees or attorney's fees.
