He is required to have it in an interest bearing account.

You should send a written request, certified return receipt requested.

If you don't get it you have both an administrative and a court remedy.

Best of luck!

Your best bet is probably to move at the end of your lease. If your lease goes for an extended period, see if the landlord will allow you to leave early without a penalty.

Not much other than to say she has to understand that for you to feel comfortable staying there she has to not be listening in. At the same time, don't have conversations of any private nature in the room where the door to the hallway is, or drape an elegant curtain over that door with an... View More

You look at the lease. It will normally have a paragraph about how you will notify the tennant if you are not renewing the lease.

You can deliver them a letter stating that the choice has been made not to renew. You would want to do this 30 days before the lease is up, and that you are... View More

So get the stuff out now. So he isn't polite--but he's not saying he had someone move it and is charging you. Get it done, ASAP. If the place is locked you need to make arrangments to get in to move it.

Seems if he took the old one he should put it back. It would be different i

It would have to be very carefully worded. If you have a concern, perhaps the Human Relations Commission would be a better place?

Yes. The Pennsylvania Governor's Order didn't affect a landlord's right to terminate a monthly lease or have a tenant evicted for any reason other than non-payment of rent. It also required that a non-paying tenant provide certain statements concerning the tenant's non-payment of ren

You should be able to, I would check with legal aid in your county to see if they can give you some advice specific to your facts. However if served with papers you need to file an answer to avoid a default judgment.

He is a monthly tenant. You serve him with a notice to quit a month before. You keep a copy of what you served him. If he doesn't leave, you can then file with the district justice.

See if the landlord will let you fix it or if he will let your other car out. If you are on a lease it's a likely lease violation. But don't do stuff yourself otherwise he can flip it and say you damaged the property.

When real property which is subject to an existing lease or leases is sold, the leases remain as part of the real property for the entire remaining term of each lease. If the term of a particular lease is month-to-month, then the new owner may terminate the month-to-month lease with at least 30... View More

The general rule is: A lease ends when the term of the lease ends.

BUT, you must read your lease carefully, as there may be exceptions to this rule. For instance, the lease may say that the term of the lease automatically renews unless the tenant sends written notice to the landlord of... View More

If that was the deal going in, and you relied on that in taking the place, you have an argument to make that you can leave without having to pay.

However, if you started to rent, then he said you don't have to pay, that's more a change in conditions that affected his view of what... View More

Look at your lease, but the fact there was one incident is usually not sufficient to say the premises are uninhabitable. If you spoke to the locksmith and they said that there was no way they could fix it that's a little different, but locks are not the type of thing that a Court will break a... View More

The law in Pennsylvania is that on the date that the term of a lease expires, the lease itself expires and terminates. If a lease terminates, it terminates and no longer exists. This means the tenant no longer has any right to remain at the leased premises and the tenant must vacate the leased... View More

As to your first question, if a yearly lease automatically renews, it renews for the same period of time as the original lease. That's the law even if the lease doesn't say what the length of the renewal term is. In your situation, the lease said the renewal term would be for one year. As... View More

I may be throughly thick, but would you ask your question again and include more information. Look at the lease and sign on the house: did you lease a room, a hotel room, an air bnb, a vacation room? Townships require rental licenses to lease houses and rooms, but the state requires real estate... View More

The Governor’s Executive Order prohibiting eviction as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic expired on August 31, 2020. The Governor has said he does not have the legal authority to extend the prohibition, but the Pennsylvania Legislature is currently considering extending it. Assuming this... View More
