I interpret the words of the Act consistent with “their literal meaning and the purpose and history of the statute within which they appear.” Atlanticare Med. Center v. Commissioner of the Div. of Med. Assistance, 439 Mass. 1, 6 (2003), quoting from Massachusetts Hosp. Assn. v. Department of Med. Sec., 412 Mass. 340, 345-346 (1992). The text “is neither peculiar nor technical, but is comprised rather of familiar words,” employed to address the well-known security deposit problems. Jason v. Jacobson, 387 Mass. 21, 24 (1982), quoting from New England Med. Center Hosp., Inc. v. Commissioner of Rev., 381 Mass. 748, 750 (1980).
