Security Deposit Not Returned — Pennsylvania

I'm dealing with a situation in Pennsylvania and need some guidance.

noise complaint retaliation by landlord. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 7 years. My monthly rent is $1,858. I have a written lease.
