So even if I terminate my lease early she still has to give it back 30 days after the lease was terminated, not after the original termination date?
Correct. In Pennsylvania, the landlord must return the security deposit within 30 days of lease termination, regardless of whether the lease was ended early or not. If any amount is withheld, a written list of damages must be provided.
