Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Pennsylvania

A tenant moved out and I itemized and provided a list, with receipts of deductions from the security deposit. Despite the detailed explanation/ receipts the tenant claims they are going to sue for the full deposit. My question is twofold. First, the house is in Pennsylvania but I live in New Jersey. Where would the suit have to be filed? Second, do I have any recourse for having to waste a full day in court to defend something I clearly explained and provided details for.

It has to be filed in the MDJ district where the house is. You should be able top prevail at the DJ. However, if the tenant wants they can appeal to Common Pleas court there are ways around this.
