A construction that avoids any redundancy between subsection (6) (a) and the last sentence of subsection (3) (a) does not seem possible. To say that the landlord “forfeit[s] his right to retain ... the security deposit” (subsection [6]) is the same as to say that “the tenant [is entitled] to immediate return of the security deposit” (subsection [3] [a]). There is no similar redundancy with respect to pars, (b), (c), (d), or (e).
