      of  state.  The secretary may revoke or suspend a license, impose a fine
      not to exceed five thousand dollars, order refunds to aggrieved parties,
      and issue reprimands, upon a finding that a licensee has violated any of
      the provisions of this article, or has made a material  misstatement  in
      his  application  for  such  license, or has been found to be engaged in
      fraudulent  practices,  dishonest  or  misleading  advertising,  or  has
      demonstrated  untrustworthiness  or  incompetency to act as an apartment
      information vendor.

      principal  place  of  business.    All licenses shall be returned to the
      secretary within five days after receipt  of  notice  of  revocation  or
      suspension,  or  in  lieu  thereof,  the licensee shall make and file an
      affidavit in form prescribed by the secretary showing that  the  failure
      to return such license is due either to loss or destruction thereof.
