So now I have 2 responses that say different things. How can one court's judgment be rendered moot just by the loser filing an appeal? That does not make sense to me, although to be frank none of this makes much sense. I have contacted an attorney for advice, but in the meantime I will fill all of this out and will more than likely make the 90 minute drive to Pitts during my workday when I should and would rather be working, because I will not tolerate this harassment, which is what I believe this is. This property owner is notorious for this behavior. They do not return deposits as standard practice. They do not pay judgements until their bank account is garnished (I've done my research). One year on I could take or leave the money, but the principle is at stake. Thanks all for your responses.

Start keeping track of your mileage, gas receipts, etc for these drives - not legal advice.

I had considered that, so excellent point. It's not labor intensive and certainly can't hurt.

The short answer is, per PA MDJRCP 1007, all appeals of MDJ decisions are conducted de novo at the common pleas level. There are some special rules with evictions (Rule 1008), but that isn't the case here.

Because that's how it works in Pennsylvania and magistrates are not courts of record. You went to the wrong Court to begin with, and your case was too small to even bother about.
