What is the name of your state? Pa
it has been thirty four days since we have moved from the property we rented for 37 months.
the security deposit itemize list and the escrow interest was never given to us. also i have repeatedly requested the bills in the amt of $250 and have not received them as of today.
the landlord has been given her property and the judgement award in the amt of 1038, and she still cant sell the property.
according to the lease the tenant is responsible for the first one hundred dollars in repairs and here i paid an additional 150 so she has 1150 dollars that have not been answered to? do i take her to small claims or do i wait until hubby comes home to resolve this issue.

you guys talk about normal wear and tear , well when we moved in the property was never painted, the ceiling was leaking and thy floor kitchen has tear in it, the border in the kitchen was falling down and she never tended to it,
many of you know about this situation my husband is still in kuwait and will not be home until feb,
the united states post office has our new address and she has my phone number because it the same one from the old house. however she has made attempt to send a itemize list.
any suggestion will help
thanks
ann

"it has been thirty four days since we have moved from the property we rented for 37 months.

*** Did you provide the former landlord with your forwarding address in WRITING?? From the information later in your post ("the united states post office has our new address"), I would assume you did NOT. And if you didn't, the requirement on the landlord to return is waived.
"PA Statutes, § 250.512. RECOVERY OF IMPROPERLY HELD ESCROW FUNDS.
(e) Failure of the tenant to provide the landlord with his new address in writing upon termination of the lease or upon surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises shall relieve the landlord from any liability under this section."

"also i have repeatedly requested the bills in the amt of $250 and have not received them as of today.
the landlord has been given her property and the judgement award in the amt of 1038, and she still cant sell the property.
according to the lease the tenant is responsible for the first one hundred dollars in repairs and here i paid an additional 150 so she has 1150 dollars that have not been answered to? do i take her to small claims or do i wait until hubby comes home to resolve this issue."
*** This is so confusing and rambling as to be unintelligible.

"you guys talk about normal wear and tear , well when we moved in the property was never painted, the ceiling was leaking and thy floor kitchen has tear in it, the border in the kitchen was falling down and she never tended to it,"
*** If that was the case, why the hell did you ever take possession??? You should have turned around and walked away.... or at least complained loud as hell when you saw it.

$250 dollars are unanswered

in july i wrote out a check in the amt of $250 dollars for bills that the landlord said i owed however according to the lease the tenant is responsible for $100.00. to this date i have not received these bills and have repeatedly asked her for these.

we did complain about the problems

hi again
we did complain about the condition before we took possession and was told that they would be fixed time after time.

and thats why we eventually complained to consumer affairs and according to the lease if we did complained to a government agency that the landlord would not evict us because of us complaining and also we held the november's rent and put that in escrow, which on july 15 the landlord was given 1038, plus the other 250

this landlord upon leaving the premises for good implied that i have taken some of her property and to protect myself, i called and the police came to verify that i did not have her property.

so have i heard the last from this landlord ???
thanks
ann

*** Okay, you seem to have ignored the REAL issue here..... so lets try once more:
DID YOU GIVE THE LANDLORD YOUR NEW ADDRESS IN WRITING????

If you didn't, the landlord owes you nothing and you can count days until the cows come home and it will make no difference.

If you did, then file a claim against the landlord in small claims court.

This is a VERY simple issue if you will let it be and quit 'clouding' it with all of your other complaints.
