Chamber Passed·5/5/25

Pennsylvania HB734 amends landlord duties and tenant relocation rights for uninhabitable rental housing.

Pennsylvania HB734 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to enhance tenant relocation rights and landlord duties when rental housing becomes uninhabitable. For temporarily displaced tenants, landlords must offer relocation assistance within 60 hours of condemnation. For permanently displaced tenants, landlords must provide written notice of the first right to reoccupy once the housing is habitable. The bill also outlines procedures for handling security deposits and unpaid debts. It applies to landlords operating 15 or more residential units in Pennsylvania.
