General Statutes § 47a-21 (j) provides in relevant part: “(1) The commissioner may receive and investigate complaints regarding any alleged violation of subsections (b), (d), (h) or (i) of tMs section, provided the commissioner shall not have jurisdiction over the refusal or other failure of any landlord to return all or part of a security deposit if such failure *827results from the landlord’s good faith claim that the landlord has suffered damages as a result of a tenant’s failure to comply with such tenant’s obligations whether or not the existence or amount of alleged damages is disputed by the tenant. For purposes of this section a good faith claim is deemed to be a claim for actual damages suffered by the landlord for which written notification of such damages has been given to the tenant in accordance with the provisions of subdivisions (1), (2) and (4) of subsection (d) of this section. For the purposes of such investigation, any person who is or was a landlord shall be subject to the provisions of section 36a-17.
