Pennsylvania HB72 provides rights to tenants who are victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking, allowing them to terminate leases.

Pennsylvania HB72 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to create new protections for tenants who are victims of domestic violence, sexual violence, or stalking. Eligible tenants can terminate their leases early if they need to relocate for safety. The bill defines "eligible tenant" as someone who is a victim of these crimes or has an immediate family or household member who is a victim. The Office of Victim Advocate will develop a certification form to verify these claims. Landlords are prohibited from retaliating against tenants who exercise these rights.
