so there is an actual legitimate risk that i could be ordered to pay 3x the amount if i refuse to settle for the 2x?

i did not even get a chance to do the inspection and the tenant did not ask to even be present for an inspection so isn't it partly their fault that the inspection can not even happen so i can not even assess the damage to the property?

I find this confusing. How is it that the tenant moved out at the end of February, but you have not done a move-out inspection yet, almost two months later?

I agree with you, Becky. virtually 99% of all LLs get into their rental property within 1 week of a Ts moving out. This LL REALLY messed up. Now he's going to pay for it. I'll bet he will start reading up on his state's LL/T laws, and MEMORIZE them from now on.

1 week…Shoot I'm in mine within 1 hour of getting the keys back. Always go by and double check windows and doors. Not unusual for a tenant to leave a window open or unlocked. Next day pics and move out inspection. Time is $$$

Absolutely. You had 30 days to get the accounting and deposit out. You blew the deadline. Not only did you fail to get the accounting out, but you failed to refund the deposit. In the tenant's eyes, you stole their deposit. In PA, and in most other places for that matter, that will get you spanked hard.
