LANDAU, P. J.

Plaintiff rented a residential dwelling from defendant. He paid a $400 security deposit. At the end of the tenancy, plaintiff surrendered the premises. Defendant, however, withheld the security deposit without providing a timely written accounting. Plaintiff initiated an action under ORS 90.300(14) to recover twice the amount of the security deposit.
