Due to ABJ Property's refusal to perform a Move-Out walk-through with me, untrue allegations regarding necessary post-Lease repairs, witness testimonies (and documents) verifying their inconsistent and unethical refund practices, and their tardiness in providing either a refund of the deposit or a notice explaining why my deposit was not refunded within thirty days (the law (68 P.S. Section 250.512) states that any landlord who fails to provide a written list within thirty (30) days shall give up all rights to keep any part or the money held as a security deposit), I requested a refund of the Tenant's security deposit in an amount equal to one hundred and fifty dollars (US $150) This matter was taken further, considering the statute: If the landlord does not return the security deposit or does not provide the written list of damages within thirty (30) days, the tenant can sue the landlord for double the security deposit by going to a District Justice's office and filing a complaint against the landlord. I had refrained from performing such actions immediately in the hopes that Landlord will comply with my legal request, but he never responded and I still have yet to file a small claims court review.
