*119b. Return of part of deposit. As the case stands, on the facts, the landlord’s duty under G. L. c. 186, § 15B, to return the deposit accrued no earlier than September 1. His time to do so expired October 1. The tenant contends the judge erred as matter of law by ruling that the landlord’s “return” of the $871.67 funds, by mailing on October 1, was timely. The tenant argues that the word “return” as used in § 15B means the tenant must “receive” the deposit monies within the statutory period. The text of the Act does not support the reading the tenant has superimposed on it.10
