If they do not, you may be able to withhold rent or even break your lease and move out. If the issue is minor, on the other hand, the landlord has more breathing room. You cannot withhold rent or break the lease without repercussions if the landlord fails to fix a minor repair.
You are entitled to three times the amount of the deposit if the landlord didnt return your deposit in 30 days, didnt put the money in a separate account, or failed to send you a statement of damages and costs within 30 days.
As per Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 186, Section 15B, a landlord can withhold a security deposit for unpaid rent, damage to the property caused by the tenant, and any unpaid increase in real estate tax the tenant is obligated to pay.
It is illegal for a landlord to ask you about your race, religion, age, sexual preference, or whether you have children or are pregnant.
The security deposit statute, G. L. c. 186, 15B, does not permit deductions from a tenants security deposit to repair reasonable wear and tear and that whether damage is considered reasonable wear and tear is fact-specific. Not all violations of the security deposit act call for triple damages.
