Security Deposit Not Returned — Pennsylvania

Quick background on my situation in Pennsylvania — any input appreciated.

foreclosure after modification denied. I've been dealing with this for about 13 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 2 years. My monthly rent is $3,254. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.
