security deposit refund
Good afternoon,
I have a rental property Pennsylvania, the tenant contacted me after moving out to pick up belongings left behind on day 2 after leaving the property. In PA if they contact you within the first 10 days I am now required to hold the belongings for up to 30 days. Additionally, in PA I am required to return the security deposit or provide list of deductions by 30 days. So my question is the following:
If they have 30 days to pick up belongings (which are a ton of items for example: 6 beds, dressers, fridge, tv's microwave, 10 bags full of clothing, toys, bikes etc) and let's say they wait till day 30 because we are already on day 25 to pick up or not that puts me in a pinch with getting them the refund or list of deductions because I have to wait a full 30 days so that means I would be mailing it on day 31? so would I be penalized and would be risking getting taken to court?
anyone ever had this type of situation happen to them? best way to handle it? any advice?
please and thanks in advance!
