Tenant Law in Pa.

I appreciate the info posted re return of sec. deposit under Pa. Tenant Law. My two friends and I vacated the premises on the last day of the 1-yr. lease leaving them neat and clean. After a few months I wrote landlord by certified mail requesting return of sec. deposit. She wrote back saying we had not given 30-days notice(the lease says nothing about this), had left the bathrooms dirrty (which is a lie and friends who helped us clean will attest to the cleanliness of the apt.) and she had to paint the apt. when we left. She had told us when we moved in that she always paints between tenants. In researching the law, we found that she should have advised us of her intention to keep the sec. dep. in wriiting within 30 days of our departure; however, a later paragraph did indicate we should have given her written notice of our new address. We did file a Change of Address form with the post office immediately upon moving. We're not interested in getting double our $1,350 back, but can't we get the face amount back if we take her to Small Claims Court?? - Is this your question? Add additional information
