The security deposit statute does not prohibit the landlord or their collector from trying to collect for damages under the lease. That statute provides that they must account for the deposit within 60 days or they must return the deposit. Assuming they violated the statute, you should provide notice as required under the statute or file suit for treble damages.

You should speak with an attorney to discuss your rights and options.
