It just said to return the money which I want to do but am still wary about this. I emailed back and asked for a phone number but have not received an answer. Should I just send it back (not sure how)? Who would leave their rent money in someone else’s account and not answer texts or emails. Just very strange to me.
Thanks

We already told you when this first happened - if PAYPAL isn't able to resolve, then don't worry about it. It's not your responsibility.
If the money is legit, then PAYPAL will resolve it. If PAYPAL isn't resolving it, then it's not a legitimate situation.
Stop e-mailing them. Every time you try to contact the individual people, you are validating their assumption that you're an easy target and will try to scam you again. Or worse - they'll sell your e-mail, name, and whatever other information you've already given them, to thousands of other scammers, who will try to scam you over and over and over again.
