In this case the tenant rented a townhouse in Chicago and gave a security deposit of $2,450.00.
The tenant maintained that they moved out at the end of their lease, on April 30. The landlord kept all of the tenant's security deposit, and mailed its explanation for the deductions on June 1.
After unsuccessfully attempting to recover their security deposit we filed suit for the tenant.
After a four hour trial, the tenant was awarded damages under RLTO § 080(f) equal to two times the $2,450 security deposit; or $4,900, because the landlord violated RLTO § 080(d) by improperly withholding the tenant's whole security deposit.
