This statute, by Subd. 2, speaks of its application “Within thirty days after the date of the termination of the tenancy, the landlord shall: (1) Return the full amount of *708the security deposit; or (2) Furnish to the tenant a written itemized list of the damages for for which the security deposit or any portion thereof is withheld, * * * .” Under Subd. 3(1), the security deposit may be withheld for only such amounts to remedy a tenants’ default in the payment of rent due the landlord. In Subd. 5, it is provided, “If the landlord wrongfully withholds all or any portion of the security deposit in violation of this section, the tenant shall recover as damages not more than twice the amount wrongfully withheld.” [Italicized portions of the statute here emphasized.]
