Under Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act, a residential landlord must return a security deposit or itemized statement of deductions within how many days after a tenant vacates?

Explanation

Pennsylvania's Landlord and Tenant Act requires landlords to return the security deposit or provide an itemized written statement of deductions within 30 days of the tenant vacating the premises and returning the keys. If the landlord fails to comply, the tenant may sue for double the wrongfully withheld amount plus attorney fees. This 30-day requirement applies statewide; some local ordinances may impose stricter timelines.
