Hmmm.... according to PA L/T statutes, the landlord has only 30 days to give you the list of damages. Failure to do this forefeits the landlords rights to collect on the damages.

You mentioned 38 days, which should be past the time allowed. Be sure you look at the actual dates. If you moved out March 1st, the landlord has until March 30th to send the list. That doesn't mean it will be delivered to you on the 30th. Either way, I believe they have 30 days to drop the letter in the mail, otherwise they shouldn't be able to collect on said damages

Oh, and I'm no lawyer. I only know the above facts because I'm going through the same problem with an old landlord.
