Dear Green Street Property Management (A Signature Community):

I would like you thank you for sending us a check refunding our security deposit. Though we moved out on July 31 and you had, by law, thirty days to return the money, I am certain there was a good reason you weren't able to print the check until September 11th. And there's no doubt that it simply needed to sit in your office until the 17th, when the envelope is postmarked, in spite of the frequent calls and emails we had been sending you for the last two weeks.

All the same, and you may perhaps understand my confusion on this point, we would have preferred a check refunding the entire security deposit, not merely most of it but with $235 missing. I have no doubt, being a Pennsylvania landlord, that you are familiar with Pennsylvania law on this point, stating among other things that you must provide a list of damages. Indeed, you likely know that "[t]he law requires landlords to pay twice the amount of the security deposit if they fail to provide consumers with the list of damages along with any refund due" (http://www.attorneygeneral.gov/consumers.aspx?id=405). So I am certain that this was an oversight on your part, just like the oversight that you also failed to refund the overpayment on the last month's rent, as you said you would when I mentioned in June that we had accidentally sent the check.

As these are all simply some of the easiest of mistakes to have made, I am certain you will have no trouble getting us the remaining money relatively immediately. Only a group of lawbreaking vile money-grubbing thieving jackasses would do otherwise, and surely that isn't you?

Yrs etc.,

Tahnan

I'm also in landlord hell. I have the fun of never having my phone calls returned by Marnie, who is a useless sphincter of a person.

Hee. When Laura and I moved out of our apartment and into our house, the landlord sent us our deposit minus like $900, saying the floors all need to be refinished. I called and left him a message saying that was no problem, he could bring before and after pictures to court when I sued for double damages. Not surprisingly, I had a frantic phone call that night ('it was my brother who sent the letter!') and the full amount a few days later. Good luck
