Exactly! Someone ruins my property in multiple ways, why in God’s name would I suffer from that and give them the deposit back

Loved this response! Thanks

@Mike McCarthy

Yes, I’ve never paid interest and probably won’t ever

At most it would be a total of 2.50

I would love to see them sue me for that lol!

@Michael Noto

Do you work mostly with class A properties?

Also, Where are you keeping there deposits? In an escrow account at the local bank?

@Michael Noto

Yes, PA has this same type of writing in the laws. This is very useful

My question, have you EVER actually paid interest to them from a security deposit? I’ve never heard of that, but I know the “ law “

Technically states all landlords should
