to tenant.

A. If the landlord fails to deliver possession of the dwelling

unit to the tenant, rent abates until possession is delivered and

the tenant may terminate the rental agreement by giving a written

notice of such termination to the landlord, whereupon the landlord

shall return all prepaid rent and deposit, or the tenant may, at his

option, demand performance of the rental agreement by the landlord

and maintain an action for possession of the dwelling unit against

any person wrongfully in possession and recover the actual damages

sustained by him.

B. If a person's failure to deliver possession is willful and

not in good faith, an aggrieved person may recover from that person

an amount not more than twice the monthly rental as specified in the

rental agreement, computed and prorated on a daily basis, for each

month, or portion thereof, that said person wrongfully remains in

possession.
