1Opinion of the Court
*395MARTINEZ, Justice.
In this landlord-tenant action, we consider whether section 38 — 12—103(3) (a), C.R.S. (2004), permits a landlord to avoid treble damages by accounting for the retention of a security deposit within seven days following a tenant’s notice of intent to commence legal proceedings. We hold that a landlord may not avoid treble damages by accounting for the retention of a security deposit during the seven-day period established by section 38-12 — 103(3)(a). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
