The court appears to have interpreted these statutory provisions as allowing a landlord to substitute a fabricated accounting of damages for the return of a tenant’s security deposit in order to avoid the sanctions of § 47a-21 (d) (2). It appears, further, that the court interpreted these provisions to excuse a landlord from the sanction of double damages if the landlord has not received written notice of the tenant’s forwarding address prior to sending to the tenant a written accounting of damages. We conclude that this reading does not comport with the language of the statute.
