Whether or not the small claims court accepted Landlord’s representations in this case that it was
delayed in making an assessment of the costs to perform repairs to the apartment, the failure of Landlord
to abide by the Section 4461(c) timelines is fatal to its claim. Therefore, the small claims court’s judgment
regarding the wrongful withholding of the security deposit is affirmed as consistent with the language and
intent of Section 446 and supported by the evidence. 9 V.S.A. § 4461(e) (“If a landlord fails to return the
security deposit with a statement within 14 days, the landlord forfeits the right to withhold any portion of
the security deposit.”).
