There are a few places in Pennsylvania where local zonarity regulations prohibit groups of „unrelated“ people from living in rental units in certain parts of the city. These laws were written to keep students away from certain neighborhoods and stopped in Pennsylvania courts. For more information on fair housing, please contact the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission in www.phrc.state.pa.us or the Attorney General of attorneygeneral.gov. Students with disabilities who wish to obtain more information about what is due to them under the law can visit the PHRC website at www.phrc.state.pa.us If you decide not to continue renting to a particular tenant after entering into their rental agreement, you must send them a full notification. The amount of the communication depends on the duration of the lease. In the case of a tenancy agreement of less than one year or a monthly lease, the landlords require Pennsylvania to call the tenants at least 15 days at the same time that you do not renew the tenancy agreement. For leases of one year or more, you must terminate at least 30 days. Who can live in the apartment and who can visit it? The Pennsylvania Landlords and Tenants Act allows tenants to have the right to have visitors as long as they continue to meet their other obligations as tenants. The rental unit must be kept in the same condition as when moving in. You may be held responsible for the damage you have caused.
You should take pictures of the property before you go to prove in what condition you left it. You should also return the keys to the owner and ask for written proof that you returned the keys and left a transfer address. If the owner wins a judgment for possession against you, he can pass it through the local constabulator. The process takes at least 30 days. If you do not travel on time, the constaulator or sheriff may remove you and your property from the rental unit. Your belongings could be thrown out or transferred to a warehouse, and you would have to pay the storage fee to pick it up. Make sure all spaces are filled or removed from the lease and that any changes are made before signing. Any agreement between you and the owner must be included in the rental agreement, including all promises of repair from the owner. The Pennsylvania Order Tenant Laws is provided for by the 68 P. Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951. The state statutes contain definitions of the terms of the Tenants Act (also known as AP rent laws), the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants, as well as offences and remedies under the Pennsylvania Regional Order, Tenant Law.
