Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Pennsylvania

I live in PA, and my lease for house rented was up May 15, while 3 other of my roommates continued living there. I moved all my furniture out and provided a "text message of address to send my security deposit to." It is now September 29 and I am receiving, for the first time, a list of damages that I supposively owe. To my knowledge, he has 30 days of lease termination to provide a damages list and to return my security deposit. He claims I did not provide a written new permanent address to send security deposit to. I am wondering where I go from here after providing him a letter addressing that I believe I should receive double the amount due to his late response according to PA Tenant Landlord Act. --Thank you

The law says you are to notify the landlord. This is generally done by sending the landlord a letter not a text message.

If the landlord is over 40 he may have no idea he was texted.
