Tenant Protections

Pennsylvania has relatively few protections for tenants, which is why reading and being comfortable with the lease is so important. Protections beyond what are found in the lease can be found in statutes, ordinances or codes, or in the common law (a rule that has developed over time in case law).

The law does have some tenant protections, but they are limited. Talk to a lawyer to explore whether the situation you are experiencing has a legal remedy.
