Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Pennsylvania
I was just taken to civil court in front of a District Magistrate for return of security deposit and other fees by a tenant. The judge found in my favor, however he would not let me recoup the fees charged by my rental agent for their services for advertising/showing of rental unit and processing of paperwork. Do I have any recourse? The tenant made it known that they were going to appeal, so if and when I end up back in court I would like to receive the fee for my rental agent. How do I proceed? Thank you in advance for your advice.

OK supposing you cheerfully refunded the security deposit. And you had to advertise and show the apartment why would the tenant owe you in that case? He wouldn't it's a cost of doing business.
