My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: I live in PA, we resided at our home for 38 months on a monthly lease. My landlord got mad when we gave our 30 day written and verbal notice to move because we bought a home. She sent us a list of damages and the invoice that she is keeping our $550 deposit and that we owe her an additional $860. Every claim on this list is false, except for 2 small holes in a screen (which she says costs $75 to replace). I have many pictures that were taken the day we returned the keys to her to prove her false accusations. We sent our demand letter with no response, so now we are going to file for court. Pa law states that our deposit should of been put in some kind of bank account and we should have been given the info but this never happened, we are supposed to get the interest because we resided there over 25 months. How much can we sue her for in court, just the $550, or can we sue for interest on it and punitive damages? How much punitive damage can you sue a landlord for? Thank you for your time.
