Pennsylvania HB607 prohibits evictions and unauthorized property showings during a disaster emergency.
Pennsylvania HB607 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to make it unlawful for landlords to evict or attempt to evict tenants who are unemployed, separated from employment, or unable to find employment due to a disaster emergency. It also prohibits landlords from entering leased premises to show them to prospective buyers or tenants without the tenant's consent during such emergencies. Landlords found in violation of these provisions face a penalty of at least five hundred dollars per occurrence. This law applies only to residential leaseholds, not commercial ones.
