Pennsylvania HB2590 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to allow landlords to obtain shared Internet subscriptions for tenants and use a ratio utility.
HB2590 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to allow landlords to obtain shared Internet subscriptions for tenants from a third-party Internet service provider. The landlord may charge tenants using a ratio utility billing system, which splits the cost among tenants if individual meters do not exist. The rental agreement must disclose the Internet service and associated charge. Tenants can opt out of paying for the shared subscription and deduct the cost from rent if the landlord violates the law.
