Where does the $500 number come from? I couldn't find it in the statute

Read the statute that you posted.

Very well. I have reviewed the statute adjusterjack linked for me. In the treatment of security deposit section:

http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/statutes/14/title14sec6038.html
It says the landlord must deposit in an account that is beyond the claim of creditors etc. How can I request evidence of this? Is it as simple as asking the landlord for a copy of the bank statement my deposit is in? What kind of turnaround can I expect from such a request? I've reviewed the section it and can't seem to find those details.

Read the statute that you posted.

I understand that much, ours will be for actual damages since the deposit is higher than one month's rent. It sounded like the post was suggesting we could add another $500 on top of that. This is the piece that *I* didn't understand. If it's in the statute, I couldn't find it.

Nevermind, I think I found it.
