I can tell you that if you did not comply with the security deposit law to a tee the tenant can sue you for triple damages and attorneys' fees under c. 93A. If the deposit was not escrowed separately and accounted for properly with interest paid to the tenant each year, you have a problem. Tenants know this and use it to their advantage in MA which is a very pro-tenant state.
