What distinguishes this case from so many others, however, is the fact that in the instant case rent only accrued until October 6, 2006 — on which date the defendant landlord prevented his tenant from having access to the apartment, in violation of § 34-18-21 and § 34-18-44. The trial justice correctly ruled that, because defendant prevented plaintiff and her brother from accessing the apartment after October 6, plaintiff was entitled to the return of her security deposit minus the unpaid, accrued rent for the period from October 1 through October 6.
