On September 25, 1998, Neihaus brought a summary process action against the Maxwells who, in turn, filed a counterclaim alleging violations of G. L. c. 186, § 15B, and G. L. c. 93A. After trial, a judge of the Worcester Housing Court entered judgments for Neihaus on both his complaint and the Maxwells’ counterclaim. The present appeal is by the Maxwells from the disposition of their counterclaim. At issue is whether Neihaus and his agent complied with those subsections of G. L. c. 186, § 15B, as amended through St. 1992, c. 133, § 522, which govern the receipt, holding, and return of tenant security deposits by residential landlords.
