Pennsylvania SB1270 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act to require landlords to disclose parking fees in leases and prohibits changes to these fees.
Pennsylvania SB1270 amends the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951 to mandate that landlords clearly state in leases whether parking is provided and, if so, the associated fee. Landlords are prohibited from altering or adding parking fees for the lease's duration. Tenants can file complaints with lower courts for violations, which may result in landlords covering the tenant's parking costs. The act defines "lower court" as a district justice, magistrate, or other court with landlord-tenant jurisdiction, excluding courts of common pleas. The changes will take effect 60 days after enactment.
