Landlord & Tenant Laws in Pennsylvania.

A tenant should provide a forwarding address and preserve move-out documentation because Pennsylvania requires return of the deposit and a written itemized damage list within 30 days after the tenancy ends.

In Pennsylvania, a landlord generally must return the security deposit within 30 days after the tenancy ends, together with an itemized written list of any damages and deductions.

If a landlord wrongfully withholds a security deposit, Pennsylvania law may allow the tenant to recover double the amount wrongfully withheld in the right case.
