Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / General Property Management / Security deposit return
My tenants are not getting their deposit back because they didn't comply with the terms of the lease. They keep sending me messages asking/begging for the $$ back. I sent them a list of damages related to the lease why they weren't getting their deposit back. Do I need to continue communicating with them or cn I ignore the messages?

RE: Security deposit return
As long as you fulfilled the requirements of the PA Security Deposit Return of the Landlord Tenant Act as well as the lease, you no longer have an obligation to communicate with your past tenants. If they dispute this, they have the right to take it to court. I would inform them to cease all telephone calls.
