General Statutes § 47a-21 (d) (2) provides in full as follows: “Upon termination of a tenancy, any tenant may notify his landlord in writing of such tenant’s forwarding address. Within thirty days after termination of a tenancy, each landlord other than a rent receiver shall deliver to the tenant or former tenant at such forwarding address either the full amount of the security deposit paid by such tenant plus accrued interest as provided in subsection (i) of this section, or a written notification advising the tenant of the nature of any damages suffered by such landlord by reason of such tenant’s failure to comply with such tenant’s obligations. If such landlord delivers such notification, the balance of any security deposit and *122accrued interest due and a written statement itemizing the nature and amount of damages shall be delivered to such tenant at his forwarding address within sixty days after termination of the tenancy. Any such landlord who violates the provision of this subsection shall be liable for twice the value of any security deposit paid by such tenant.”
