¶ 15. We reject the landlord’s argument in this case. The security deposit section of the Landlord and Tenant Act is clearly a consumer protection provision regulating contractual security deposit procedures, and the City of Burlington has added to it additional procedures. The primary obligation of the landlord is to return the deposit, net of any deduction for damage to the premises or for unpaid rent. Accompanying the payment, if any, must be an itemization of any deductions and a notice that the tenant can appeal to the Housing Board of Review. Burlington Code of Ordinances § 18-120(c).
