Your landlord must return your deposit within 10 days of you both agreeing how much youll get back.
The landlord must return the security deposit within 30 days of the tenant moving out. If the landlord keeps any of the security deposit, he or she must provide the tenant with a written list of damages and the remaining balance within the same 30 day time period.
As per law, the landlord can deduct arrears or major repair expenses from the security deposit before refunding the rest to the tenant. Tenants cannot claim a security deposit refund in cases of rent agreement renewal. The refund amount is only returned if the tenant vacates premises after tenure expiry.
The law allows a landlord to keep all or part of a security deposit to cover other money you may owe under the lease, including rent. If you owe rent, the landlord can keep that money from your deposit without giving you any special written notice.
In PA, if your landlord does not return the deposit within 30 days, you may be entitled to the amount of the initial deposit plus an additional amount equal to the deposit. To put it simply, the landlord could owe you double the amount of the initial security deposit.
