977 charsUnder § 47a-21 (d) (2), a landlord who wrongfully does not return a tenant’s security deposit is “liable for twice the amount or value of any security deposit paid by such tenant . . . .” Under that provision, “[t]he court, therefore, need only determine two factual questions to award twice the value of the security deposit under the statute: (1) Was the security deposit returned with interest, or a written notification of damages delivered, within thirty days of the tenant’s termination; and (2) if a written notification of damages was delivered, *788was the balance of the security deposit and a statement of damages delivered within sixty days of the termination?” Kufferman v. Fairfield University, 5 Conn. App. 118, 122, 497 A.2d 77 (1985). Because the defendants neither returned the plaintiffs’ security deposit nor provided the plaintiffs with written notification of damage to the premises, an award of twice the value of the security deposit ($7400) was proper.
