Well, according to PA law, you have to include in the settlement statement a written list of all the damages you are claiming. You screwed up. Now, not only do you have to give them all of their deposit, but you also can't sue them for damages.

That said, the double-damage provision only applies (as I read it) if you fail to pay the remaining balance. You did that. It does not appear to apply to the written list of damages. So you return the rest of their deposit, and chalk it up to a leaning experience.
