This law limits the amount a landlord can collect for a security deposit. The new law states that: —For the first year of the lease, no more than an amount equal to two months rent can be required as security deposit. —After the first year of the lease, no more than a sum equal to one month’s rent can be required as security deposit. —After five years, the amount of the security denosit cannot be increased when the rest is in creased. Further, under certain con ditions the law requires that the landlord pay the tenant interest on his security deposit. This new law enlarges the rights tenants had under a law passed in 1968. This previously passed law requires a landlord to provide within 30 days after a tenant leaves: —A written list of any damages for which the landlord claims the tenant is liable.

If he fails to provide the list and the refund within the 30 days, he cannot sue the tenant for-any damages he claims are owned to him. Moreover, the tenant can sue him and recover double the difference between the amount of the security deposit and the damages to the dwelling which the landlord can prove. The Pennsylvania- Bureau of Consumer Protection urges every consumer to know and exercise his rights in this often disputed area. In most cases, if the tenant indicates that he is aware of his rights, the lan dlord will be encouraged to meet his legal responsibilities. Surprisingly, a patron of a health foods establishment would be out of his element in a natural foods store. Health foods stores generally employ older ladies, dressed in white uniforms, whose main concern in the sterile surroundings is the customer’s physical well-being. Where-as, employees of natural food stores not only cater to the customer’s appetite for organic edibles, but they also feed the souls of the supermarket counter-culture with relaxed chatter in the homey, atmosphere of a usually disorganized shop. 626-2343 39 mg m 4 mal ,nce of for iwn ing, 'val Litltz
