Returning Security Deposit

  What is the time allowment for a landlord to return the security deposit for an apartment?
 
 

Individual states have their own laws about this.  In my state, New York, the landlord must return the deposit with a "reasonable time", for example.  In your state, Pennsylvania, the limit is 30 days.
