Pennsylvania HB2132 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 by redefining terms such as "justice of the peace" and "magisterial district judge." It modifies procedures for hearings, judgments, and writs of possession, specifying that a writ server, constable, or sheriff must deliver actual possession of the property to the landlord. The bill also mandates that the writ server, constable, or sheriff make a return to the magisterial district judge within ten days, detailing the service of the writ and any payments made by the tenant.
