SECURITY DEPOSIT DEMAND LETTER – PENNSYLVANIA
Date: [DATE]
To: [LANDLORD NAME]
Re: Security Deposit Return – [PROPERTY ADDRESS]
DEMAND FOR REFUND
Dear [Landlord Name]:
I vacated the premises on [DATE] and provided my forwarding address in writing.
Under 68 P.S. § 250.512, you were required to provide a written list of damages and the balance of the deposit within 30 days.
You have failed to do so. Under Pennsylvania law, failure to provide the written list within 30 days results in the forfeiture of all rights to withhold any portion of the deposit. You cannot sue for damages to the leasehold.
DOUBLE DAMAGES: If I file suit to recover the deposit, I am entitled to double the amount wrongfully withheld.
I demand the immediate payment of $[AMOUNT].
Sincerely,
[TENANT NAME]
